Nose
Hugely fragrant aromas of strawberries, plum pudding, lavender, white pepper, peach pit and yellow flowers.
Palate
The palate is deceivingly juicy and vibrant, with fluid texture and rich fruit in abundance, while the finish gets serious, framed by the finest of mountain tannins.
Growing Conditions
Gaining control of this fruit was an amazing windfall that we will forever be grateful for. Grenache in Napa Valley is rare. Grenache on Mount Veeder is exceedingly rare, and we are incredibly happy to have long-term access to this rarity. There is inherent complexity in the vineyard, with various terraces and high-density blocks maintaining different clones, aspects and micro-climates, and the wine shows it. 2014 is more effusive than the 2013.
