2009 Fisticuffs Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Fisticuffs elicits classic Napa Cabernet characteristics. It has a
dark ruby color with tantalizing aromas of dark chocolate,
cinnamon, espresso beans and black cherries, leading to a
concentrated palate of blackberry, black raspberry and cassis. The
tannins are fine grained and velvety, providing a full bodied wine
with a lingering finish of baking spices, vanilla and black
cherry. Well balanced and delicious, this Cabernet is perfect
for your winter beef stew or your summer barbeque. It should age
over the next 10 years, but why wait?
Jeff and Carolyn Smith (Hourglass) joined forces with Rob and Pavi
Lawson (Napa Wine Co., Pavi) to create Fisticuffs. Drawing on years
of experience making wine for Bryant Family, Colgin, Pahlmeyer and
Kapcsandy while managing Napa Wine Company, Lawson sources fruit
from very special St. Helena and Oakville vineyards, and applies
the same standards and techniques to craft this wine as he did for
the cult stuff.
