The Best Leftovers You Have Ever Had
New Layer Cake Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon!
Layer Cake's owner, Jayson Woodbridge's
Hundred Acre Cabernets, have consistently scored 95 to 100
points and are very highly prized. They only have one flaw, the
prices, which run from $150 to $250 per bottle. While
making the 2007 vintage, Jayson decided to use the incredible
fruit he had left after making the final blend of Hundred Acre,
plus a new vineyard source, to make the first ever Layer Cake
Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley.
We put this Cabernet in a blind tasting event last week, and it
was voted "Best in Flight" by over 97% of the tasters!
Layer Cake Cabernet was made from select
vineyard sites along the Eastern hillsides of Napa Valley
combining richness and big fruit flavors with classic structure
and tannic power. It was fermented using hand punch downs
and gentle pumpovers; then transferring some to French oak for
aging. The biggest structured, most powerful lots were put into
new French barrels that were used to age Hundred Acre, for aging
to balance the tannins and extract the rich flavors from the
barrique. By carefully blending the different lots – varying oak
types and different vineyard lots – they created a balanced and
complex wine.

2007 Layer Cake
Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Aromas of blackberry,
cassis, and violets. Densely packed dark berry,
chocolate, and coffee flavors with a nice layer of
creamy fruit in the mouth. A very lush, complex wine
that coats the palette and spreads out on the long,
lingering finish. This wine is unfortunately limited, so
don't wait or you will miss it.
