Silent Lot #132 – Saddleback Cellars
Back in the Saddle

Known as “The King of Cabernet,” legendary winemaker and owner of Saddleback Cellars, Nils Venge, makes stellar wines that not only reflect the character of the Napa Valley region, but also seem to reflect Nils’ personality—bold, yet approachable, with layers of complexities.

With this lot, you will have the chance to explore those complexities to the fullest. First, collect a bottle of the 2011 Saddleback Cellars Merlot: seductive aromas  and complex layers of flavors define this wine, coating the palate and lingering for a long finish. Next on the list is a Magnum of 2006 Saddleback Cellars Merlot, a hedonist’s dream! This delicious, concentrated wine has a silky full-bodied entry on the palate, with a luxuriously long finish. Finally, take home a Double Magnum of 2005 Saddleback Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, winner of a silver medal at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition in 2010 and awarded 91 points by The Wine Advocate. This full-bodied wine has opulent, black fruit flavors layered over silky and supple tannins with an amazingly smooth, lingering finish.
