After a three-year long search for just the right property, they bought an existing but decimated vineyard in the eastern hillsides overlooking Oakville in the heart of Napa Valley. The Showkets knew they had a unique location, but they also knew they had much hard work ahead of them in order to bring the vineyard up to its potential. They contracted with well-respected and highly reputable Pina Vineyard Management, to help them renew the vineyard. All vines have since been replaced. The soils of Oakville are known to be one of the top winegrowing regions in the world for Cabernet Sauvignon. The concentration of cult wineries in this area is a testament to the high quality of wines this part of the world can produce. Within the Oakville appellation, Showket Vineyards with an elevation of approximately 600 feet is perched in the hills above Silverado Trail. With neighbors like Dalle Valle, Vine Cliff, Phelps’ Backus vineyard, Oakville Ranch, Turnbull’s Weitz Vineyard and sitting above Screaming Eagle and Rudd Estate—this is undeniable prime Cabernet real estate. Before producing wines under their own label, the Showkets sold some of their fruit to top wineries like Caymus, Dalle Valle, and Shafer. The vineyard’s pedigree is unquestionable. The vineyard, which is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese experiences slightly cooler temperatures in the summer then the valley floor and slightly warmer ones in the winter. Because of the elevation and orientation of the vineyard no frost protection is required. The soil is clay-loam type that is very rocky. The vines are stressed sufficiently to produce excellent wines. The tonnage is considerably less than what vines produce on the valley floor giving intensity in flavor that can only be produced in such a pristine hillside vineyard. Dorothy and Kal Showket are committed to giving respect to their unique property and handcrafting red wines of great quality and distinction. <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/napawineco/Product197 TITLE="Showket Vineyards, 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville, Napa Valley"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/napawineco/images/showket00cabt.jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Showket Vineyards, 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville, Napa Valley" NAME="Showket Vineyards, 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville, Napa Valley" BORDER=0></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/napawineco/Product197 TITLE="Showket Vineyards, 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville, Napa Valley">Showket Vineyards, 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville, Napa Valley</A> -- $48.00 -- Showket Vineyards is happy to announce the release of our 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon.
