Nose

This limited-release, single vineyard Sangiovese reveals lush aromas of dark cherry and baking spice.

Palate

Leading to juicy dark fruits and cassis on the palate. Bolder than our traditional Napa Valley Sangiovese, this classic Italian variety excellent to pair with hearty Italian fare.

Growing Conditions

Voyager Vineyard:


Located on the Silverado Trail just south of the town of Yountville, the Sangiovese fruit from this vineyard tends to exhibit wild berry and spice aromas classic to its variety, yet the intensity and texture of the wine more closely resembles a fine Cabernet Sauvignon.

Winter provided a record-breaking rainfall, a welcome end to the 4 years of drought. Bloom and fruit set in May occured under ideal conditions. Summer was warm but the vines weathered the heat well and maturity moved along at a steady pace.
