Nose

Expressive dried berry notes, cocoa, cedar and a hint of cigar box scent

Palate

This Single Vineyard wine greets with a full-bodied richness, that’s chewy and ripe. Layers of chocolate, dark berry compote, forest floor and tobacco leaf are well integrated with its massively tannic core. The finish is so rich and long, confirming that this wine is a big Napa Cab.

Growing Conditions

A wild vintage! The year began with abundant rainfall following a historic five years of drought. Three heat waves during summer led us to harvest in mid-September; and fortunately spared us from the smoke taint from the nearby wildfires that ravaged the region starting October 8th.
