2008 Storybook Mountain "Antaeus" Napa Valley Red Blend
One 750ml bottle
This unique blend of 60% Zinfandel, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot is named for Antaeus, the son of Water and Earth in Greek mythology, who symbolizes strength derived from the soil. Like its namesake, the wine derives strength from the matching of site and grape on every part of Storybook Mountain’s estate vineyards. The aromatics are primarily Napa Cabernet, with all the richness that connotes, and the body shows off Zinfandel’s sensual fruit and fullness. The sleek finish comes through with the structured, sinewy aspect of the Bordeaux varieties. The intensity derived from red clay soils is here in full, while the coolness of the site provides the acid balance so essential to a wine’s grace and longevity.
