Herzog Special Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

For six generations, the Herzog family produced award winning, quality wines in their native Czechoslovakia. Since moving to the United States in 1948, that tradition has continued under the seventh and eighth generations, with a commitment to excellence undiminished by time. The 2013 harvest occurred the second and last weeks of October. The extended ripening on the vine produced a rich, concentrated wine with blackberry and plum notes. Aging for 17 months in small French and American oak barrels added lush vanilla and toast components. Herzog Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon pairs exceptionally well with grilled steaks, roasted duck, rich stews and dark chocolate. To retain its outstanding character only light filtration occurred and therefore sediment may appear as it ages.
