Nose

Aromatics of blueberry, black cherry, cassis, Venezuelan dark chocolate, black pepper, bay and hot stones beckon you to keep your nose in the glass.

Palate

The palate is a powerhouse of flavor and authority with dense, rich, concentrated Napa flavors, but with the freshness and balance that only 2013 could achieve. The tannins are abundant but superfine, providing focus and clarity, promising a great future in the cellar.

Growing Conditions

2013 was possibly the greatest Napa and Sonoma vintage of our era, and it is fascinating to taste what could be accomplished.

Aging

21 months in 100% new French oak.
