An ironic twist of fate, Palmer returns to the ‘once’ St. Andrews Winery (Luna Vineyards) to create his line up of wines. "Since I’ve hooked up with Luna, I’ve had more reason to be involved in wine" Palmer can be quoted as saying. Arnold Palmer Wine’s 2005 release of Cabernet and Chardonnay are sourced from California’s ‘most acclaimed growing regions’. Each bottle has been strategically blended with Moon and Palmer’s guidance at Luna Vineyards to target the top restaurants and country clubs of the United States. As Palmer’s involvement with the wine industry develops through Luna Vineyard’s hand crafting of his wines, we are sure the Icon will dominate wine palates as he did the fairways at St. Andrews.

Wine Profile:

Vintage:	2005
Wine Type:	Medium Red Wine
Varietal:	Cabernet Sauvignon
Appellation:	Napa Valley

Tasting Notes:

The nose holds scents of red fruits, with a dash of currant and pomegranate. Layers of minerals and milk chocolate are present on the palate, with a strong element of Rutherford Dust coming through. All of the wine is thoroughly integrated, with the nose, body, and finish complementing each other. Interesting notes of white pepper and truffle follow the wine to the finish.

Vineyard Notes:

This Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards that range from Oakville to St. Helena. Grapes were selected from these Napa Valley vineyards for their classic Cabernet complexity and intensity

Winemaker Notes:

The grapes were handpicked in the early morning, arriving shortly before noon to be crushed and de-stemmed. The must was cold-soaked at 50 degrees F for 72 hours, to enhance color and structure. For added richness and extraction, the grapes were pumped over twice a day. The wine was gently pressed, shortly after the finish of fermentation, to help retain the fruit’s elegance. The wine spent 15 months in small French and American oak barrels.

Other Notes:

100% Cabernet Sauvignon
