I am so excited because more of one of our favorite 2007 California Cabernet Sauvignons jsut became available again. That's right, Edna Valley's 2007 Paso Robles Cabernet is back! Back in the early 1970s, the Niven family planted a wonderful little vineyard in the Paso Robles area of California called Paragon. From this small parcel of land, the Nivens grew their small production of personal table wines to somewhat larger production wines for commercial usage, and thus Edna Valley Vineyards was born. Luckily, their growing seasons is one of the longest, and coolest (being just 5 miles from the Pacific Ocean) in California allowing the grapes to mature in a slow and steady pattern to achieve maximum ripeness. Through the Nivens persistence, along with a few other main stays in Paso Robles, the Edna Valley as a whole was granted it's own AVA (American Viticultural Area) in May of 1982 and has continued to grow in quality over the years. I love a hero’s story!
The pinnacle of their quality has come in the 2007 vintage with their stellar Cabernet Sauvignon yet they have done something that they have never done in the past; they dropped the price! A great Cab at the cheapest price any of us have ever seen for it. Keep an eye out there for our February ad in the local papers and the New Haven Register for this unbelievable price.
