Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The 2010 Songbook was sourced from acclaimed viticulturist David Abreu’s personal properties located in diverse terroirs in the St. Helena and Howell Mt. regions of the Napa Valley. These vineyards produce grapes of exceptional character resulting from proprietary clones, extremely low yields and meticulous farming. The result is a winemaker’s dream.
Production Notes
Grapes were picked in the darkness of the early morning hours and immediately subjected to rigorous selection by our berry-by-berry hand sorting process. The fruit was gently gravity-delivered to tank by our unique crane system, retaining the integrity of whole berries. Cold soaks lasted four to six days and fermentations were managed by a combination of délestage, punchdowns and pumpovers. Extended maceration for four weeks fine-tuned our tannin profiles, and allowed us to perfect mouth feel and complexity. This wine underwent twenty-four months of élevage in new French oak. Final blend is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot.
