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.

$29.99
