govine - Beta

Located in the cooler Coombsville area of Napa Valley, we are a small boutique winery that produces a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from our just-under 16 acre hillside vineyard (9.5 acres planted). We have been making wine for ourselves since 1995 to better understand the nuances of our terroir and, after many of our local friends agreed, we began selling our first "commercial" vintage of our 2003 Ackerman Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon in October 2007. We sell direct to consumer and through restaurants and high-end retailers only. Our total production for 2003 was 300 cases and our 2004 production, released at the end of October 2008, is 400 cases. Our wine is a smooth, lower-alcohol "traditional" Cabernet with subtle berry, spice, smoke and cherry flavors. We barrel age for two years in new French Oak and then bottle age for an additional two years before we release. We like wines that blend well with food and can be aged for 7 to 10 years or beyond for even more complexity. We also farm organically and should complete our organic certification process this fall.
