Private Lunch for 8 Adults, and Wine

www.linkedvineyards.com

Nestled in the hills of Knights Valley, Linked Vineyards overlooks both Napa and Sonoma counties – a truly unique vantage point from which to indulge in extremely small lot Cabernet Sauvignon wines.

Join vintners Jessica Link and Drew Johnson at their family estate, surrounded by acres of vines, for a delicious lunch. Stroll through the vineyards to gain first-hand knowledge of where it all begins, and toast to the one winemaking philosophy upon which all can agree – great wines start with great vineyards.

You’ll also indulge in award-winning wines and special treats pulled from Jessica and Drew’s personal cellar, for a once-in-a-lifetime wine tasting experience. Served in a spectacular setting with unforgettable views and impeccable wines, this is an event for anyone looking to be immersed in Wine Country living.

Right now, you’ll receive three bottles of Linked Vineyards 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon, Knights Valley, presented in a cedar box.

When Jessica and Drew met Luc Morlet, consulting winemaker at Peter Michael, they knew they had found a kindred spirit. His expertise crafting small production Bordeaux-style wines from mountain vineyards, coupled with his knowledge of Knight's Valley, made Luc a perfect match for Linked Vineyards.

The wine is deep, rich and complex. The nose reveals a medley of aromas.  Red fruits and blackberries intermingle with bits of cocoa, allspice and bay.  The flavor shows another level of complexity with notes of olallieberry, blackberry and dark plum interspersed with hints of vanilla bean, violet, nutmeg and star anise. Soft, round, seductive, the finish lingers on the tongue. Drink now or cellar for a decade or more. Only 121 cases produced.

Lunch to be arranged, at least 30 days in advance, for a mutually agreeable date, before April 17, 2017.
