Nose

The wine provides a big and full entry, yet the tannins are balanced and have an underlying silkiness.

Palate

On the palate, ripe cassis and spice mingle with well-integrated oak and evolve into a lingering, fruit-driven finish. Planted on some of the most beautiful, gravelly loam soil in the Napa Valley, the vineyard uniformly produces wines with supple tannins, bright, forward fruit, and beautiful tannin structure.
