WINES FOR THE CONNOISSEUR
Enjoy three extraordinary large-format bottles of wine from Vineyard 7&8 in California’s Napa Valley. These impressive bottles represent the exceptional results of a wine-loving family’s dream to handcraft high-quality wine using sustainably grown grapes.
In these bottles, you’ll savor Vineyard 7&8’s first proprietary blend, “Block Six," comprised of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, all planted on the steepest hillside slopes and growing in beautiful volcanic soils; Estate Chardonnay, with notes on the nose of honeysuckle, grapefruit, lemongrass, stone fruit and apple blossom; and Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, which shows a dense core of focused red fruits, black pepper, five spice, crushed espresso bean, all while presenting a vibrant fresh lift, structured tension, and a finish that continues well after the last taste.
Vineyard 7&8 is located 2,020 feet above the Napa Valley floor within the Spring Mountain District. Founded in 1999, Vineyard 7&8’s name encompasses numeric symbols for luck (7) and prosperity and happiness (8). May these fine wines bring you all three in abundance!
Estimated Value: $1,500
Many thanks to Launny and Weezie Steffens and Vineyard 7&8 for this auction offering.
