Nose
Aromatically
complex, espresso, black cherry, olive and sweet pipe
tobacco, with undercurrents of chocolate truffles and ripe
plum.
Palate
On the palate, a sensual mix of lush fruit, milk
chocolate and spice. Elegant fine grained tannins give way
to spicy blackberry, espresso bean, plum and nectarine. All
repeated in the long mouth-coating finish.
Growing Conditions
Arthur Spencer and his family farm this vineyard 100% organically. The result is stunning Bordeaux fruit that draws all its cues from superior soils and microclimates. Arthur sets the bar high and our goal is to reveal this exquisite terroir in every bottling.
This is a perfectly proportioned Napa
Cab, remarkable in its exquisite balance.
