A special shout out and sincere congratulations to Revana Family Vineyard of St. Helena, CA for picking up the #4 spot on Wine Spectators Top 100 for 2010 for the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena. At a whopping 97 points, it’s no wonder the panel granted this luscious little number such a high slot on the list.
Here’s what they had to say about it: “Aromas of roasted herb, red pepper and sage are complex, elegant and spicy, joined by ripe currant, plum and black cherry fruit, but this is at its best on the full-bodied palate, where the texture is supple, graceful and polished. Drink now through 2020. 2,000 cases made. –JL”
Good news for you – Do Valle Imports and Distribution just happens to distribute this wine in CT (so get it while it’s hot!) Like WS says, there are only 2,000 cases… you know the deal.
Revana Cabernet Sauvignon retails for $125/bottle – definitely a treat!
A little bit about the Revana Family Vineyards:
“Houston cardiologist Madaiah Revana grew up in rural India, immigrated to America and caught the wine bug. In 1998, he planted 9 acres of grapes north of St. Helena, across Highway 29 from Grace Family. This 2007 is Revana’s best effort to date. Winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett ferments small lots and ages them separately for 20 months in French oak (40 percent new) before making the final blend of 92 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.”
