Winemaker Thomas Brown’s Tasting Note:
2008 Casa Piena Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate, Yountville, Napa Valley
The third crop is the charm. We’ve been saying it now for a few
years emphasizing the growing pains associated with a young
vineyard. The first two years can be kind of a mixed bag with both wines
being solid but ever changing in barrel and bottle. With this third
year, the 2008, we saw good stability of color and flavor and a wine
that got steadily better as it aged. Coming from a vintage that still
unjustly sits in the afterglow of 2007, the 2008 Casa Piena will
surprise a lot of people both as a wine that surpasses anything we’ve
ever done before and as the beginning of a high-quality trajectory for
this young estate vineyard.
