Palate
Overwhelmingly diverse and complex with a dynamic bouquet that keeps delivering mixed berries and dark fruit; exotic, supple, polished and balanced with integrated silky tannins and a long flavorful finish.
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.
