This deep but elegant wine blends gorgeous, ripe black fruit flavors with subtle cinnamon, toast and black pepper nuances for a complex and satisfying expression of the grape variety. It is packed with blackberry, black cherry and raspberry flavors and backed by well-integrated tannins and a full body. Best through at least 2029.

A sophisticated, gravity-flow winery designed with the least amount of environmental impact. Winemaking always starts with the grapes-we rely on unmatched vineyard sites growing exceptional grapes that will transform into elegant and love-lived wines.
Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.
Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
