Wine Details
AmericanWinery.com is pleased to provide you with Winery-Direct information.
The Destino 2007 The Mask has big, ripe flavors, but is still well-balanced and layered. We used the same grapes as the previous vintage (Cabernet, Syrah, Zinfandel), but in different ratios to achieve the balance we sought in the blend.
52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Syrah, 12% Zinfandel
Varieties
- 52% Cabernet Sauvignon
- 36% Syrah
- 12% Zinfandel
Vintage Notes
The 2005 growing season was a winemaker’s dream—delivering big crops of
amazing fruit. In fact, in anticipation of the “bumper” 2005 yields, we dropped
large amounts of grapes to create added-depth and concentration in our
Cabernet Sauvignon. Even so, we found ourselves with more fruit than we
needed to craft the small-lot, 500-case bottling of our Napa Valley Cabernet
Sauvignon—a wonderful dilemma to have. Inspired by this abundance of top
fruit, we took a playful detour in our winemaking journey, to create a vibrant red
that’s just plain fun to drink.
