Winemaker Thomas Brown’s Tasting Note:
2007 Casa Piena Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate, Yountville, Napa Valley
The elegance that defines Casa Piena is certainly evident in the
2007 vintage, but it also contains a concentrated fruit quality that we
weren’t sure was possible from this area. The fruit is darker in
profile than the 2006, more purple/black than red/black, and much deeper
at this point in the wine’s evolution. The soil driven elements are
present but are masked by the layers of blueberries, blackberries and
melted chocolate that the year gave us. This wine feels rounder than
its predecessor and has in common with other great wines what we think
sets them all apart, the ability to drink great young, middle-aged and
old aged. We knew early on 2007 was something special and now here’s
the realization of that first thought.
