Winemaking Notes
2007 was one of those vintages that makes winemaking look easy. The weather was ideal at flowering, yielding a good-sized crop. Perfect, even ripening weather prevailed all season with nary a heat spike in August and September.

Tasting Notes
The 2007 is one of my favorite Kronos Vineyard Cabernets to date. Spicy aromas integrate with dark, brooding black cherry, boysenberry and cassis fruit. I love the prominent mineral note in the aromas and the signature viscosity and velvety tannins make it lush. All this at moderate alcohol! -Cathy Corison
91 pts - Stephen Tanzer “Good deep red-ruby. Aromas of black- and redcurrant and bitter chocolate, plus a whiff of menthol. Tighter and less sweet than the basic Napa Valley version, with strong acidity keeping the brooding dark fruit and mineral flavors under wraps today. This, too, is quite dry and classic and will probably require a decade of aging. Best today on the broad, long finish, which shows serious tannic spine, a flavor of black cherry, and strong soil tones and minerality.”
