Wine Information:
Blind Eye:
The name 'Blind Eye' alludes to the great British Admiral, Lord Nelson, who ignored a flag order to retreat by putting his telescope to his blind eye. He went on to win the battle.
The Calistoga American Viticultural Area has the highest average difference in Napa Valley between daytime heat and cool nights. This 2018 Fairwinds Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the strength of having daytime heat for color and flavor and cool nights for acidity and structure.
Calistoga, Napa Valley. 14.5% alcohol. 23 months in French oak.
Scuttlebutt:
The casks of drinking water on ships were called scuttlebutts, and since Sailors exchanged gossip when they gathered at the scuttlebutt, the term became U.S. Navy slang for gossip or rumors. A butt was a wooden cask which held water or wine; to scuttle is to drill a hole, as for tapping a cask.
Petit Verdot is a thick-skinned grape expressing a dense, deep ruby color. Aromas are dark and brooding, with blackberry, black cherry, fig, mocha, dried herbs, and savory truffles. Oak barrels contribute a caramel and toasted marshmallow nuance, along with some baking spices. The entry is juicy, with mouthwatering acidity. A rich midpalate leads to flavors of dark plum, black cherry, mocha, coffee, and dark chocolate. Ripe, pronounced tannins are present from start to finish.
