THE WINE INSIDERS "OUTSTANDING 93 - 95" RATING: 
“The new 2007 'Summit', a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, is even bigger and bolder than the extremely popular 2005 and 2006 vintages due to the breathtaking quality of 2007 Cabernets in California! This Summit features a gorgeously smooth texture rarely achieved in a Cabernet blend in this price range. This new release exhibits aromas of coffee, black cherries and cassis. On the palate, lavender, espresso beans, and blackberry are deftly melded together with a hint of dark chocolate on the sultry finish that we savored a full 30 seconds. This wine is an elegant, complex, youthful yet accessible red that should drink well for 5 - 7 years…….or enjoy tonight after decanting half hour! HIGHLY recommended.” 

PORTHOS INSIDER SCOOP: 
Less than 200 cases of this micro-production wine were crafted for this vintage. Fruit is sourced from the winery’s highest mountaintop vineyards which leads to unusually complex flavors.
