Golf Legend Jack Nicklaus partners with Terlato Vineyards for Limited Prodution Wines

Golf Legend Jack Nicklaus of Jack Nicklaus Wines has partnered with Terlato Wines of Napa Valley to produce a new line of handcrafted, limited production wines including a 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon and a 2007 Private Reserve.  Terlato owns both the Chimney Rock and Rutherford Hill wineries.  The winery partnered with Nicklaus due to his background as a wine collector and his desire to create a signature wine that he and his family could produce under the Nicklaus brand.  The Cabernet Sauvignon has hints of blackberry, red plum and cedar notes in addition to layered mocha and red current which blend together to add a sweet spice flavor to the wine.  The Private Reserve combines Bordeaux grapes and Syrah.  The wine has a deep black cherry fruit with vanilla and smoky paprika accents.  The limited production 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon retails for US $35 and the 2007 Limited Production Private Reserve is priced at US $43.  Both wines are available through http://www.uncorked.com/ and at premier golf clubs and resorts throughout the United States.  For more information please contact cooklikejackie@gmail.com.
