Thurlow Cellars Description

Pit Viper

Our Pit Viper Cabernet Sauvignon is made from grapes grown on two iconic properties an Oakville Estate and Gamble Ranch. These properties bookend the most secretive vineyard in the region, Screaming Eagle.

Only 9 barrels of this Cabernet Sauvignon were produced.

98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot.

The vines are planted to Clone 337. These valley floor vines rest upon clay-loam soils, producing fruit with sensuous tannins and rich, deep flavors. Oakville Estate; hillside plantings, high-density, terraced vines that are west facing. These grapes offer beautiful structural pedigree. and sense of place.

TASTING NOTES
This is a perfect example of what the Napa Valley floor is capable of producing in a great vintage. Polished and perfectly ripe fruit of cassis, blackberry, baked blueberry, red currant, and violet pastille emerge immediately from the glass, As the wine opens, this fresh and vibrant wine hints at nuanced aromatics of leather and forest floor, adding an earthy dimension that will certainly increase over time.Aged 20 months in 70% New French OakAlc: 15.2% By Volume (750ML)

“It Truly Has No Peer. As Dark as Night. Oakville, Mt Veeder, Stags Leap from Petrus Mega-Star Winemaking.”

Time to be forthright, this Blackberry jam Cabernet is aimed at those who love soft, dark, glass staining Cabernet. Over 200 sensational reviews...winemaker Kevin Morrisey overcame all obstacles with this one. A 20 minute decant will do wonders! 100% pure Cabernet Sauvignon from 60% Oakville (neighboring Rudd Estate) 30% Mt Veeder (terraced hillside) and 10% Stags Leap District (next to Clos du Val) a pillar of excellence! Simply, this is going to blow your mind! “It’s dense and rich with aromas of cherries, cranberries and sweet tobacco leaf. The fruit is all dark cherry.”
