 NEYERS 

LEFT BANK RED
2016
50% Cabernet, 50% Merlot

   Napa Valley


Old World Structure with Napa Valley depth of fruit.
Delicious!


This vineyard is on the "left bank" of Conn Creek as it flows through on its way from the top of Howell Mountain to the Napa River in Rutherford a prime location for both of these varietals. 
This wine expresses nuance over opulence and will age beautifully for years to come.


90 Points The Wine Enthusiast

“A 50-50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is robust in cedar, dried herb and peppercorn aromas and hints of flavor.
Thick extracted layers of grippy texture are highlighted in blueberry and dark chocolate. ”

 
Our Thoughts...............

A handsome example of Bordeaux-style red, the 2016 Neyers Left Bank Red displays attractive red and black currant aromas,
cola covers soft red raspberry and cherry, with touches of graphite giving it a classical character.
Medium bodied and lengthy this wine's well-built and balanced palate would provide an excellent foil for a medium-rare steak!

Bruce and Barbara Neyers
In 1999, Bruce and Barbara Neyers purchased and renovated a winery on a thirty-acre parcel in the Sage Canyon area of Napa Valley.
Over the next 14months they built a modern, highly functional winery designed for traditional winemaking practices.
They produced their first vintage in this state of the art facility in 2000. In 2002, Wine and Spirits Magazine named Neyers Vineyards the Artisan Winery of the Year.


About 25% of our production is Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grown on Bruce and Barbara’s 50-acre, Conn Valley ranch.
They purchased additional grapes from a select group of growers, among them the Sangiacomo family of the Carneros District, Will Nord of Napa, the Rossi Ranch of Sonoma County, Markus Bokisch and the Evangelho family.

Even though Neyers Vineyards sits in the heart of the Napa Valley, Bruce's experience with French wine importer Kermit Lynch has had an undeniable influence on their wines. Many of the French producers Bruce has worked with farm organically, make their wines naturally without use of cultured yeast or laboratory designed malo-lactic starter, and bottle their wines without fining or filtration. Neyers barrels are made in France, to our specifications, from wood that we buy in bulk and air dry for three years, two years longer than normal. All of the grapes are picked by hand, into small bins that hold only one-half ton. They are then laboriously hand sorted and inspected at the winery as winemaker Tadeo Borchardt gently guides the winemaking process along. As Bruce says, “No expense has been spared in our grape growing, winemaking practices, or processing equipment, yet customers repeatedly tell us that our wines represent great value in today's highly competitive wine market.” Bruce Neyers produces his own content for the company blog, “Vintner Tales.”
