Herzog Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

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 eight generations with a commitment to excellence undiminished by time. The 2016 harvest occured 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 19 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 occured and therefore sediment may appear as it ages.
