2007 Mockingbird Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon $29.99
The King of Grapes
Often called “the king of grapes,” the deep red Cabernet Sauvignon is the backbone of the world’s most expensive wines. The sky’s the limit when it comes to how great a Cabernet can be. This “king” can thrive anywhere but the very best Cabernet comes from only a few places in the world – and Napa Valley is at the very top of the list.
This beautiful wine offers the best qualities of Napa Valley Cabernet – fresh, vibrant black fruit – with the great structure, complexity and long finish that characterize great Bordeaux.
There’s a rich current of ripe, fresh blackberry and blueberry along with notes of coffee, mocha and caramel. It’s a knockout with lamb chops, marbled steaks and prime rib.
A properly-stored Cabernet ages very well indeed. In fact, you could savor a 2007 bottle of Mockingbird Hill Cabernet Sauvignon today or you could store it in your cellar and enjoy it 10 years from now. It might be hard to resist, though, so you may want to stock up on a few!
2007 Mockingbird Hill Napa Valley Chardonnay $19.99
Ideal for Savoring
If Cabernet rules over other red wines, then Chardonnay holds the same place among white wines. Chardonnay’s aroma and flavor are so delicate that even a small amount of another varietal blended with it can overpower it. It can have a clean mouthfeel or resemble liquid gold with a gamut of flavors that beg to be savored. In many ways, Chardonnay is an ideal wine, with a wonderful sugar/acid balance, smoothness and full body.
In fact, Chardonnay grapes produce such wonderfully versatile wines that it’s easy to see why Chardonnay is a hands-down favorite around the world. And our 2007 Mockingbird Hill Napa Valley Chardonnay seems destined to enchant wine lovers everywhere. Jim Laube from Wine Spectator magazine said the 2007 vintage of California Chardonnay “offers a great range of quality across the board,” with “especially strong showings from Napa Valley.”
Our 2007 Chardonnay is wonderfully crafted and well balanced, with apple pie spice, cinnamon, nectarine and tropical flavors.
The aroma evokes pear, butterscotch and peach. The taste finishes bright and clean with juicy fruit, apricot and floral nuances. You’ll enjoy serving this wine with tilapia, crab cakes or chicken francaise.
