Description

Vintage

The season started off with very little rain, leading to the 2nd year of drought conditions in Napa Valley and an early start to Harvest. While concerning in the long term, the drought of 2021 resulted in a more natural load on the vines, requiring less pruning and dropping of fruit. The resulting grapes are packed full of flavor. The smaller yields per vine and smaller berry size will result in another amazing vintage from Napa Valley.

Tasting Notes

Powerful elegance in a glass. Bold and velvety, this wine showcases the quintessential characteristics of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of purple flowers, graphite, and warm cedar. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and lush, with well-integrated tannins providing structure and balance. Layered with notes of fig, cassis, and black cherry underpinned by a savory complexity and long, evolving finish. This wine is gorgeous now but possesses the structure to age gracefully, promising continued refinement over the next 10-15 years.

Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc
