Nose
Aromas of bright red fruits and spice.
Palate
Flavors of blueberry and peppercorn combined with silky, elegant tannins give this wine a structured, long finish.
Growing Conditions
The volcanic Mayacamas Mountain range runs 52 miles southeast from
Mendocino County, shearing through Lake, Sonoma, and Napa Counties on its
way. Rich in winegrowing history, winemaking in these mountains dates back to
the 1860s. Captûre targets vineyards within Alexander Valley, Knights Valley,
Spring Mountain District, and Lake County—appellations at the untamed edges
of mainstream wine regions that see more wildlife visitors than human ones.
Aging
21 months in 100% French oak (10% new)
