Description
Sloan Asterisk Red Wine Napa Valley 2021Sloan Estate was founded in 1997 when Stuart Sloan purchased 40 acres of coveted land in the eastern hills of the Rutherford AVA, just above Auberge du Soleil. Sloan quickly put together an all-star team to help accomplish his goal of making one of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignons in all of Napa Valley. First, he hired famed Vineyard Manager David Abreu to plant just 13 acres of vines. The perfect blend of white tufa soil, a cool marine influence, and generous sun exposure forms the ideal site for growing fruit of distinct quality and crafting exceptional wines that are compelling expressions of these elements. Martha McClellan (Harlan, Levy & McClellan, Checkerboard) took over winemaking in 2004, and it became clear Sloan Estate’s luscious, dense, and complex Bordeaux Blends were not to be taken lightly. Along with world-renowned consulting oenologist Michel Rolland, this A-list team has been responsible for handcrafting these epically exquisite and celebrated wines ever since.
