Palate
Dense, opaque and concentrated the 2014 Seduction tantalizes the senses with the complex interplay of rich dark berries, cherries, blackcurrants and sweet, toasty oak savors that unite with hints of graphite and earth in an intricate assembly across the palate. Seduction takes Romance of the Heart to the next level and does not disappoint. Densely structured, distinguished and full-bodied on the palate, this wine is packed with flavor and a fantastic texture that lasts and lasts…
Growing Conditions
In spite of the drought and the South Napa earthquake, vintners are using words like “quality,” “depth of flavor” and “excellent” to describe their expectations for the 2014 vintage in Napa Valley. Many are also noting “perfect weather,” “abundant crop” and “good fortune” among the blessings they are counting in a season where Mother Nature threw a rockin’ curveball.
Harvest started and ended earlier than usual… for many, a full two weeks ahead of the normal harvest schedule.
