A delightful Bordeaux-style red wine—enticing on its own, yet equally at home alongside most meats and spicy dishes.
Crafted from a grand blend of fruit—70% sourced from the rugged mountain slopes of Napa’s Atlas Peak and Pritchard Hill, and 30% from the storied valleys of Sonoma’s Chalk Hill and Dry Creek.
This composition brings together a layered complexity of flavors, creating a wine truly worthy of savoring.
On the nose, it offers ripe dark fruits layered with delicate notes of vanilla and a whisper of gentle tobacco. On the palate, the wine bursts with fresh fruit energy—juicy, rounded, and velvety—delivering an immediately engaging experience that invites a second sip.
There’s an initial illusion of subtle sweetness, yet it quickly reveals itself as a fully dry wine, rich in flavor and beautifully balanced. Elegant, structured tannins carry through to a savory, enduring finish—refined and remarkably satisfying.
The lack of adequate winter rain together with frost in late April contributed to a lower-than-normal projected yield. Minimal rainfall and high temperatures in early summer allowed for the fruit that successfully set in the spring to ripen quickly, and up to August moderate daytime temperatures and cool nights created excellent conditions
However the 2022 harvest was fast-tracked by a heat wave which came as a bit of a surprise nevertheless all our varieties are showing excellent chemistries in the winery and getting grapes in a little early protects them from any further hot weather and the risk of wildfires.
