Peirson Meyer Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
With classic aromas of black cherries, plums, and blackberries the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon has a luscious smooth entry that opens to a broad and well structured palate. Spicy flavors of clove and anise highlight the deeper mineral notes of graphite and slate, with a hint of black truffle. These elements, with the delicious fruit create a wine that is age worthy, while being approachable in its youth.
It was a spring evening in 2001, when Alan Peirson, Lesley Warner-Peirson, Robbie and Shannon Meyer were enjoying a bottle of wine together when the discussion turned to the future. We had all met at the Peter Michael Winery Estate, where Robbie was the Assistant Winemaker, and Alan and Lesley were the Winery Estate Managers. In classic fashion they came up with the name and logo for their brand, sketching it out on a cocktail napkin. That evening began their adventure together. In the Fall of 2001 they produced their first vintage, 300 cases of Russian River Valley Chardonnay.
