Winemaker Notes
This plush and luxurious red offers alluring aromas of cassis, black raspberry, cherry and nutmeg, as well as French oak-inspired hints of clove and allspice. On the palate, it is robust and full-bodied, with rich, silky tannins framing the lush blackberry and sweet Rainier cherry flavors as they glide to a dark and delicious finish.

Production
2019 brought another exceptional vintage to Napa Valley, resulting in wines with alluring polish and poise! The season began with a wet winter followed by a mild spring. While this led to a slightly later-than normal start to the season, ideal summer weather with no significant heat spikes ensured ideal flavor development, yielding complex and vibrant whites, and refined reds with elegant tannins, enticing aromatics and beautiful fruit flavors.
