Winemaker Notes

Each year Policy Vineyards spends a lot of time considering which estate blocks will go into the Our Gang bottling. This wine is made to embody all the essential characteristics of the Estate Vineyard andbe approachable immediately upon release. Created through block-by-block analysis and blending trials, the 2011 Our Gang has the hallmark acid backbone and light tannic frame that reminds us of the OG bottlings of the past. The vintage-contributed spicy red fruit notes round everything out in the glass and deliver a lengthy, plush finish.

Carmen Policy’s first career was that of a trial lawyer providing an opportunity to help defend and promote the interests of his clients in a competitive and dramatic setting. He expanded his efforts into the NFL in 1979 while still maintaining a successful career in law. Carmen then joined the San Francisco 49ers organization, where he played a key role in all five of the 49ers' Super Bowl winning teams. Thanks to his friend and client Eddie DeBartolo Jr. he was involved in helping to establish them as one of the preeminent franchises in all of sports. He and his wife Gail found their new life and their new home in San Francisco to be a virtual fairytale come true and moved there permanently in 1991. They returned to Ohio for 5 years in 1998 as President, CEO and part owner of the Cleveland Browns expansion franchise. Their plan was always to return to Northern California and they did so in 2004. The San Francisco 49ers and the NFL became an extension of a strong sense of family that they both carried with them from their native Ohio. After 25 years of happily competing in the world of professional sports and creating a treasure trove of memories, Gail and Carmen knew it was time for a change. They found it in the amazing lifestyle and challenges that viticulture and the Napa Valley offered. Wine, sunshine, great food and romance were the enticements that could not be resisted.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
