LIMITED RELEASE!! Hagafens Cabernets are well known for our house style of bright fruit and supple tannins that produce early drinking wines which age for decades due to their solid structure. Over time, we have come to select one special block of six rows of vines in Weir Family Vineyard II to be released as the supreme expression our terroirand thus we have fittingly named it for the three Weir children, Maya, Jonathan, and Tamar. It is there that the eastern side of the Valley shows its greatest results: a dark, introspective wine loaded with black fruits on the nose and delivering great oodles of black cherry, raspberry, chocolate and mint on the palate, accented by earthy, silky tannins. The 2004 MJT Block Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is what comes to mind when you think about quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet. Only 150 cases produced.
90 Points, Gold, "Exceptional"!! We have always prided ourselves on producing varietally true releases of Merlot, and the 2005 Vichy Vineyard Block 4 Reserve Merlot is no exception. On the nose are red and black fruits while on the palate are bright cherry flavors complimented by a multitude of spices and silky, soul-filling tannins. Too often, people have forgotten what the Merlot experience should bethis release will remind you why you originally fell in love with Merlot. Only 200 cases were produced of this exceptional wine.
DOUBLE GOLD!! Only 275 cases! Our second block-designate release from this vineyard, this reserve 2006 bottling shows why we have used wine from these thirty-plus year old vines in our red label blend for years. It presents aromas of bright cherry, strawberry and honey while the drastically low yields we get from these vines produce a New World Pinot of mouth-filling cherry, spice, and zippy white pepper. This wine is all about experience, and given how little of it there is, we urge you to get it now or miss it forever.
