This is a 1.5L bottle.

The 2001 season started relatively early due to a warm spring, and we had a lighter than average crop. A combination of frost at bud-break and high temperatures at bloom contributed to the low crop levels. The overall quality for the 2001 vintage is excellent. Mild summer temperatures lengthened the growing season, allowing a nice steady pace for harvest and crush.

Wine Profile

Production Notes
Varietal Composition: 82% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker Notes
Our Napa Merlot is blended to show off the complexity and balance of a young wine. This vintage is a full-bodied wine with a lush entry, refined tannins, and an elegant finish. The aroma is sweet with toffee, dark chocolate, blackberry pie, and black cherry complemented by dried herbs, cedar and vanilla. The flavors in the mouth are ripe plum, strawberry jam, toasted oak, and caramel, accented by a lingering finish.
