Nose

A beautiful mélange of perfumed aromas
entice—rose petal, lavender, cherry, cardamom, and white pepper.

Palate

The mouth offers a firm entry with a
lively textural impression as well as a wonderful enduring finish. It’s the definition of elegance.

Growing Conditions

Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard is a spectacular property far south as Carneros, but east of the
Napa River so it is not part of the Carneros appellation. Western hillside exposures are dramatically
cooled by strong bay breezes, and the result are Bordeaux varieties exuding incredible character.
