รายละเอียดสินค้า
94 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A proprietary blend of their best lots, in this case 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. This is a big-time winner... Rich, inky purple-colored, with sweet crème de cassis, blueberry, forest floor and spice box, the wine is full-bodied and opulent, with a voluptuous texture, sweet tannin, and a long finish of close to 40-45 seconds. This is a beauty... Drink it over the next 15+ years.
93 points in Wine Spectator
Aromatically complex, firm, dense and chewy on the palate, with taut dark berry, crushed rock, licorice, anise and cedar notes. Ends long and persistent. Built to age. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2020 through 2034.
92 points in Wine Enthusiast
This big bold Bordeaux-inspired blend combines 85% Cabernet Sauvignon with 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. It offers a layering of dusty sage and crushed rock around tight-grained tannin that presents as soft and structured on the palate. The integrated fruit is a welcome mix of cassis and red currant.

WINEMAKING
This 29th vintage of our Profile proprietary red blend continues to showcase the very best fruit from the harvest. Traditionally, comprised from top vineyard sites in our portfolio from throughout the Napa Valley, this vintage is sourced exclusively from our gorgeous hillside Schlatter Family Estate Vineyard located east of St. Helena. Although the 2012 harvest was excellent throughout the Napa Valley, we found in our blending trials that our estate lots of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot stood head and shoulders above the rest. The phenolic development in this vineyard is truly outstanding and showcased in the wine’s elegance and very fine tannin structure.
TASTING NOTES
The level of flavor, color and intensity in the fruit from the Profile Estate Vineyard is truly exceptional. With 2014 being a warm vintage, it was important for us to not over-expose the fruit and make sure to pick before any late season hot weather. This allowed us to preserve the freshness and intensity of the fruit. Once in the cellar the fruit impressed us with its balance. Fermentations were healthy and the result is a wine of great depth and elegance. The oak is well integrated featuring supple, very fine grain tannins.
