Description

This handsome, branded wood case signed and numbered (photo on the way; please check back!), contains six bottles (375 ml each) of Godspeed Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (1999 - 2001) and Chardonnay (2001-2003).


Chardonnay 2002 -- 100% estate grown Chardonnay. "Profuse tropical nose with intense fruit and lemon citrus back. Superbly balanced with a lingering finish. A great warm weather chardonnay.  An elegant and unique mountain Chardonnay.  Its Burgundian style is a welcome change to the tropical California Chardonnays.  A crisp, refreshing wine that pairs beautifully with Southwestern and Asian cuisine."


Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 -- 100% estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Rich Kunde Clone 8).  "Deep purple color with big Mount Veeder nose suggesting truffle, vanilla, cedar, manzanita and blackberry. Luxuriously mouthfilling fruit with a good tanning grip and texturous palate feel.  A voluptuous and well-structured wine."


Located in the heart of the Mount Veeder AVA and 1,500 feet above the Napa Valley floor, Godspeed is considered to be one of the steepest and most remote vineyards in the area. Established by renowned architect Larry Stricker, the intensive hands-on approach to farming and grape growing at Godspeed is what sets this boutique winery apart.  The estate's 22 acres of steep vineyards are at altitudes that expose the vines to warm sunlight during the day and cooler temperatures in the evening, diurnal changes that allow the fruit a longer hang-time and a longer period in which to fully develop rich flavors and aromatics.
