Palate
Blueberry, strawberry and black tea with spicy elements of pipe tobacco and vanilla.

1600 feet elevation in the Atlas Peak appellation of the eastern hills of the Napa Valley.
Winemaking
The Sangiovese gets a 5 day cold soak prior to fermentation and is punched down daily in our automated punch-down tanks. At the time of blending, we blend in small amounts of our estate Cabernets and Merlot to fill out the palate.
Aging
French Oak 300L puncheon, of which 25% are new.
