| Description: | Godspeed is an artisan grower in the Mount Veeder A ppellation of Napa Valley. The vineyard is the project of the Larry Stricker family. At 1,500 feet elevation, Larry's picturesque vineyard on Mt. Veeder is an ideal spot for growing classic mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard was planted in 1987. The vineyard comprises a series of steep hillsides and mixed volcanically-derived soils. Accessed through a long, winding road, it's easy to see why Larry is so passionate about this remote vineyard. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines that cling to its slopes produce small clusters of deeply concentrated grapes that lead to statuesque wines with immense aging potential. Wine maker notes It's no secret that we love mountain Cabernet Sauvignon and year after year the fruit from Mt. Veeder's Godspeed Vineyard justifies my passion. There's an intensity and concentration to the grapes that practically jumps out of the crusher, and with careful handling this intensity translates to a wine of enormous depth and richness. Producer Sbragia Family Vineyard Is A Dream That I've had for some time, a small, family-owned winery making limited, individual lots of wine from grapes grown in select blocks of my favorite vineyards. I've always had one foot in Sonoma and the other in Napa. Both areas mean a lot to me emotionally. I'm more attached to Dry Creek because it's where I raised my kids. But the wines that I've made at Beringer are like children, so Napa is also a very special place for me. Either way, the wines are intensely personal, an expression not only of terroir, but of my family's winemaking heritage. |
