2020
Napa Valley
Our powerful boldest premium reds, dark, age-worthy wines of substance. Regardless of their grape, these heavyweights are barrel-aged and quite concentrated in flavor.
FOOD PAIRING: These big reds perform best with rich, high-protein foods such as AGED CHEESES & RED MEATS and work brilliantly with RICHER, BOLDER SAUCES too.

WinemakingAppearance:Opaque, dark ruby ink-like.
Aroma:Aromatics are appealingly primary - dark berry fruit of course but that lovely spice, vanilla, mocha layering makes this a supremely appetizing first impression.
Palate:In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, ripe fruited at its core, acidity is sufficient to support but soft enough to entice, fruit tannins are already beautifully integrated and resolved. Super wine.
Tech NotesVintage Notes:2020 kicked off with ideal growing conditions. Mild temperatures led to evenly developed clusters and an early budbreak was followed by a warm to hot summer. Low winter rains resulted in smaller berries with concentrated flavors. Harvest began in early August and aII things pointed to norma.l yields and exceptional fruit quality. The grapes for this wine were selected from from mid to Upper Napa Valley where there was more warmth.
