Product details
The legacy of this Napa Valley estate traces back to 1972, when a dedicated farming family transformed low‑fertility soils into deeply‑rooted vineyards across sub‑regions from Coombsville to Calistoga. A dense network of vines planted at high‑density, coupled with careful vine‑control and selective harvesting, yields fruit that’s rich, dark‑in‑hue, yet approachable in its youth and built to evolve with maturity. By sourcing from both valley floor parcels—known for lush abundance—and hillside sites—renowned for structure and definition—the house produces a signature style distinguished by generous fruit, velvety tannins and a consistent character that places it firmly among Napa’s most recognisable profiles.
In the glass, this vintage opens with a deep, intense colour and invites with waves of ripe dark berries—think blackberry, plum and cassis—interwoven with notes of rich cocoa and fine vanilla oak. Velvety tannins cushion the entry, then give way to a direction of silky texture layered with hints of dark chocolate, subtle cinnamon spice and a fine mineral underpinning. The finish lingers graciously, offering a soft echo of licorice and faint graphite, with acidity and structure in balance from first sip to last.
