Description

Enjoy a special taste of the Napa Valley wine region with a visit to Judd's Hill Winery, with this intimate private tour and tasting for eight. Auction includes one bottle of Judd's Hill 2002 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon.


Beginning as garage winemakers, pioneering vintners Art and Bunnie Finkelstein have been producing legendary wines in the Napa Valley since the 1970s, when they created Whitehall Lane Winery.  Now, along with their son, Judd and his wife Holly, they continue to hand-craft ultra-premium wines with the same passionate and intimate style that has been their signature for more than 30 years.


About the 2002 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon: The grapes for Judd’s Hill Estate come from hillside vineyards located outside of St. Helena in the eastern foothills. Five clones of Cabernet Sauvignon are planted on this steeply sloping terrain, giving us the opportunity to produce a multi-dimensional wine of great complexity. Blended with small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this wine is deep, dark garnet in color with subtle aromas of violets, blueberries, smoke and black tea. On the palate, the wine delivers dense, wild blackberries, blueberries and currant fruit that is nicely integrated with cigar box, cedar, earth and chocolate notes. A supple, juicy wine ready to drink now and that will benefit from additional bottle aging
