Another big-time winner, the 2007 Profile (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, and 4% Malbec) may be the finest wine I have ever tasted from Merryvale. It exhibits an opaque purple color along with classic tobacco leaf, black currant, spicy oak, chocolate, licorice, and graphite characteristics, a big, full-bodied mouthfeel, and tremendous depth, persistence, and length. This proprietary red should continue to put on weight, and last until 2028. Very impressive!94+ points from Robert Parker, The Wine AdvocateWinery Notes: Profile is a proprietary red blend and our flagship wine since the first vintage in 1983. Recognized as one of Napa Valleys iconic red wines, the fruit for this wine is sourced from the Schlatter familys hillside estate vineyard east of St. Helena. A combination of great terroir, intensive farming methods and innovative winemaking ensures that Profile will continue to exemplify the best of each vintage.
