Godspeed Vineyards 2010 "Trinity" Red Wine

Godspeed Vineyards 2010 "Trinity" Red Wine

Mission Codename Dibs!

By now you know how fabulous the 2010 vintage was in the Napa Valley. Wine Spectator’s James Laube awarded this mystical vintage a decade-high 99 points.

Earlier this year, we featured the incredible Godspeed Vineyards 2010 Mt. Veeder Napa Valley Cabernet, That wine received some of the best feedback from our Operatives.

Today, we are very proud to feature the flavor-packed, juicy and elegant Godspeed Vineyards 2010 “Trinity” Red Wine. This wine took our tasting panel by storm, with each and every panelist requesting some of this wine for their own cellars.

If there is any left after today’s sale, they can have it… but you get first dibs!

A rush of fragrant bliss greets you on the nose, with aromas of sweet black cherry jam, blackberry, cherry bark, cherry tobacco, blueberry preserve, spice box, bramble, vanilla and sweet toasted oak.

This wine bursts with goodness, spreading flavors all across the palate of blackberry juice, raspberry, blueberry jam, licorice, graphite, cedar, sweet spice, chocolate covered blackberry, sweet oak and cracked peppercorn.

Godspeed is a craft grower in the much lauded Mount Veeder Appellation of the Napa Valley. Most of their fruit is sold to other wineries that make wines from their gorgeous fruit. Sbragia Family Vineyards makes a fantastic $95 Cab from Godspeed grapes.

Winemaker Ed Sbragia (who is also Winemaker Emeritus for Beringer) said, “It’s no secret that we love mountain Cabernet Sauvignon and year after year the fruit from Mt. Veeder’s Godspeed Vineyard justifies my passion. There’s an intensity and concentration to the grapes that practically jumps out of the crusher, and with careful handling this intensity translates to a wine of enormous depth and richness.”

The Godspeed vineyard is the project of Larry Stricker and family. The vineyard sits atop Mt. Veeder, At 1,500 feet elevation. This picturesque vineyard is an exemplary place for growing classic Napa Valley mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard, which was planted in 1987, is planted on a collection of steep hillsides with volcanic soils. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines that snake across the hillside slopes produce small clusters of deeply concentrated grapes.

This wine will continue to age gracefully for the next 5 to 10 years.

Remember, 2010 Napa Cabs and Cabernet blends like this wine are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Ones this good are downright hard.
