Palate
Aromas explode with red raspberry, cherry pie and red plum. The mouthfeel is supple with balanced tannin and the evolving presence of red fruits and cedar spice.
Growing Conditions
"Classic" and "perfect" are just two accolades being bestowed upon the 2012 Napa Valley growing season and harvest. Textbook conditions saw near-ideal spring bud break, steady flowering, even fruit set, and a lengthy stretch of warm days and cool and often foggy nights during the long summer months. Late and light rains held off until Napa Valley's treasured wine grapes found optimal ripeness, bringing exceptional quality to the crush pad and into the cellar.
