07 CABERNET SAUVIGNON 
NAPA VALLEY 
 
KAREN CULLER'S "CASAEDA"
 
 
Dear Wine Friend,
 
If you have not heard, the 2007 vintage for Cabernet Sauvignon (red wines et al.) will probably rival the very best wines ever produced from Napa Valley and Sonoma.  Concentration and richness will be the 07's trademarks. I shudder to think how prices may escalate. 
 
Karen Culler is one Napa Valley's leading "hired gun" winemakers (Ladera, Renteria, Wolf Family, to name a few).  But lucky for us, she has not been reading the press clippings when it comes to producing her own wine.  Culler's impeccable fruit sourcing and creative winemaking has produced a remarkable 2007  Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley she calls "Casaeda" under her eponymous label. "Casaeda" will dazzle your palate, and keep money in your pocket.  
 
THE TRICK? 
 
Culler is not only known for her work with Cabernet Sauvignon, but also Syrah.  The core of "Casaeda" is 77% Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley's sub-appellations of Howell Mountain, and Oak Knoll.  Guess what?  The remaining component is a stiff dose of seriously complementary Syrah.
 
 IT WORKS!! 
 
Not only will the mid-palate dazzle you with fresh, intense, "high octane" ripe black cherry fruit, but the wine turbo charges to a most lengthy finish to exceed all expectations!   ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
 
 
ALL OF THIS FOR JUST $29.95 A BOTTLE.

PURCHASE 3 BOTTLES FOR $28.50 A BOTTLE
OR
SIX BOTTLES FOR $26.96
OR
12 BOTTLES OR MORE FOR $25.75 
    
 
14 months in 25% new & 75% once used French oak barrels.  Unfined & unfiltered.  393 cases produced.  The "Casaeda" is approachable now for the thrill, but certainly has the depth to age into a beaut.  Won't it be fun to compare the dollar value with the higher priced "spreads".
 
 
 
This is a SMART MONEY WINE PURCHASE!

Yes, I will have the 07 Culler "Casaeda" Cabernet Sauvignon available to sample at this Saturday's Tasting Bar.  The roster will include four new discovery Italian red values, and a limited, big time Super Tuscan surprise!
  
 
 
HEY!  We got lucky!  Remember Wine Spectator's # 1 Wine of the Year for 2008? ....The 2005 Clos Apalta from Chile.  We stockpiled about 50 six packs because we felt strongly it would vie for the honor.  Well, since the 2006 Clos Apalta was "released" last May, we have been pleading and bowing for even just a six pack to show up in a delivery.  No such luck until last week.  NOW 12 bottles are available at $89.95.  Another masterpiece!  
  
BTW - Finally Food & Wine magazine announced its annual "American Wine Awards", and as leaked earlier, the
 2008 Luli Chardonnay from the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey was name the Best Chardonnay $20 and Under!  Available to order at $19.95 > Discounts to $17.96 on six bottles or more.
