Nose
Opens with a nose of coffee, gingerbread, cassis and dark cherries, then unfolds with aromas of bay leaf, sweet plum,
pomegranate, then cherry, tarragon, rose, iodine, red cassis, cocoa.
Palate
Big, structural but sweet tannins.
Growing Conditions
In Napa in 2013, the stars aligned. The steady warm days and cool foggy nights lingered well into October, making for exquisite slow-made ripeness. The best kind.
Aging
Unfined and unfiltered. 28 months in barrel. French and European oak is used exclusively.
