Product details
Born from the slopes of Napa Valley’s most esteemed sites, this vintage reflects both thoughtful care and the unique character of the 2021 season. A relatively dry winter yielded just over nine inches of rainfall from January through June, with consistently cool temperatures shaping the early months. To guide balance and concentration, yields were intentionally reduced through early pruning, allowing the vines to conserve resources. When warmth arrived in May, flowering began under favorable conditions, setting the stage for a steady, confident ripening season. The result is a bottling that captures the elegance, structure, and vitality of its origins, marrying youthful energy with the composure of its lineage.
In the glass, it presents an interplay of supple texture and poised intensity. Layers of red fruit glide across the palate, accented by darker nuances that evoke the richness of crimson velvet threaded with violet. The tannins are smooth yet firm, underscored by a lively acidity that lends classic structure and precision. As the wine develops, its breadth gathers inward, directing focus toward a penetrating, persistent finish. With its nobly proportioned frame and refined balance, this vintage is remarkably approachable now while promising the capacity to evolve gracefully over time.
