Today we are very proud to present you with a tasty exclusive. We are the the only online wine merchant to be showcasing the stunning 2007 Geyser Peak Block Collection Cabernet Sauvignon, Kuimelis Vineyard, a wine that is only available at the winery itself.
This exclusive delight is everything that we’ve come to expect from Geyser Peak’s higher end Block Collections wines - and from the superb Kuimelis Vineyard. We’ve shown the winery and the vineyard, in the past, but today’s wine is a terrific mashup of the two.
This wine is bold, extracted, delicious and wonderfully balanced. Complex on the nose and on the palate, and with a finish that goes on forever, this wine is built to satisfy.
Decant for optimal results. Enjoy now or lay a few bottles down for several more years.
