Nose
Aromas of cassis, Asian spice, vanilla and toasty oak.
Palate
an extremely supple and lithe palate, with focused, concentrated flavors of plum, cherry and chocolate. The finish is long and elegant.
Growing Conditions
Artefact, our Napa Valley Cabernet-based blend, made with a nod to the old Bordeaux tradition of blending in a little Hermitage, comes from a cooler climate, Coombsville - east of the city of Napa - and a considerably warmer site in St. Helena.
Aging
Aged it in 100% new French oak for 22 months.
