Reviews:
- Wine Spectator: Offers ripe, supple plum and currant flavors, with notes of smoky oak, crushed rock, graphite and loamy earth and touches of tobacco and cedar. Full-bodied, with a layered finish.
- Wine Advocate: The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is a slightly softer, more forward wine, but it should last just as long. It is more typically Californian in its opulent black currant fruit intermixed with notes of chocolate, crushed rocks, vanilla, and black fruits. The tannins are sweeter than in the 2006, and the wine is full-bodied with a layered texture, admirable purity and depth, and a blockbuster finish with no shortage of tannin.
Producer Information
Provenance Vineyards is a wine producer based in the Napa Valley. It released its first vintage in 1999, and today its main focus is producing Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon and Napa Valley Merlot, as well as a Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc. The estate’s vineyards span the many viticultural areas of Napa Valley and it has a sister winery, Hewitt Vineyard, in Rutherford. The Vineyard George III in Rutherford dates back to the 1800s when George Yount is thought to have planted the first grapevines in this region at Caymus Ranch. By the 1900s the estate had been acquired by George de Latour (renowned for establishing Beaulieu Vineyard), who planted it to Cabernet Sauvignon. The name of the vineyard eventually changed to Vineyard George III in 1988 after it was acquired by Andy Beckstoffer. The Estate Vineyard covers 12 hectares (29.7 acres) of land around the Provenance winery. The vineyard was first planted to Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon in 2003 and is divided into eight blocks, which are individually picked and fermented for increased complexity. Further north in the Napa Valley lies the Three Palms Vineyard in Calistoga. South of Rutherford in the Oakville region is the historic Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard. This vineyard has been producing award-winning wines since the 1889 Paris World Fair and was replanted in the 1990s. The topography of this vineyard is ideal for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon due to its alluvial soils.
