Nose
Black fruits and violet notes with a touch of leather and clove.
Palate
Fruit forward, but reserved and firm. Will benefit from additional bottle aging.
Growing Conditions
A warm fall following a cool, pleasant summer made for a later than average harvest, providing extended fruit hang and excellent sugar development and balanced acids. Has the potential to be a signature vintage from Napa Valley.
Appearance
Dark garnet with some purple hues at the rim.
