Description
Godspeed Vineyards is managed by a father-son team, Larry and David Stricker. Founder Larry Stricker is a renowned architect of international world-class resort hotels who decided to become a grape grower and vintner in the mid-1980s. Godspeed has the luxury of holding back wines far beyond the normal time when most area wineries release their wines. Typically their Cabernet Sauvignon won’t be released until it has aged 6 years—and always sees three years in barrel. For the price, their wines are some of the better values within the Napa Valley area (especially for a small hillside producer).
Deep purple color invites you into a wonderful nose of truffle, vanilla, black cherry, and woodsy pepper. Voluptuous and profuse mouth-filling black cherry, coffee, and cocoa. Did we mention black cherry? Well-structured tannins and a silky smooth finish from extended barrel aging—this baby has hit its sweet spot now.
