More great Press for Aurielle and winemaker Chad Alexander
From Wine Access:
"Chad Alexander is best known for his brainchild brand called "Chad". But here in Napa Valley, Alexander's reputation is tied to his singular touch with mountain Cabernet. Alexander is the winemaking prodigy who became head winemaker up at Robert Craig while still wet behind the ears. His work up on Mt. Veeder and Howell Mountain set the stage for Alexander to set up his own boutique consultancy. It didn't take long for Robert Parker to take note, as the Wine Advocate raved about Alexander's 2007 "Aurielle", a Howell Mountain gem that earned 93 points."
For those of you who haven't tried Aurielle, you are in for a treat when you do.
Parker raved about it's "exuberance, opulence and pure fruit" and called it "A new discovery".
There were only 300 cases made and there are less than 20 cases still left. While drinkable now, the 2007 Aurielle will cellar for the next 10 or 15 years. To get yours before it's all gone, sign up on the mailing list at www.auriellevineyards.com
