MORISOLI VINEYARDS
The Morisoli Vineyard, nestled in Rutherford’s storied AVA, renowned for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, rests on the valley floor with soil celebrated for its unique character. The vineyard’s distinction owes much to grower Gary Morisoli, whose dedication elevates its fruit to remarkable heights. Paired with the expertise of winemaker Gary Galleron, who has crafted wines from this vineyard for over 25 years, the result is a legacy of consistently outstanding wines that age with grace and distinction.
Tasting Notes
The 2008 Fiftyrow Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep ruby-purple color. On the palate, this full-bodied wine offers concentrated flavors of cassis, blackberry, and dark plum, complemented by notes of loamy earth and crushed stone. The finish is polished, with bright fruit, smooth tannins, and subtle oak undertones. True to the Morisoli Vineyard and Rutherford AVA, it balances power and finesse, making it a compelling choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
