Winemaker Notes

From its inky dark color to its bold blackberry and fruit cobbler aromas, this is a rich and alluring wine. On the palate, firm mountain tannins add wonderful structure to a velvety texture and voluptuous dark berry flavors.

Production

The 2013 harvest was early, even and excellent, with all of our Estate fruit in the winery by October 10th. A warm dry spring brought an early bud break and created ideal conditions for flowering and fruit set. In the weeks after Labor Day, a moderate heat event followed by a period of perfect weather created a dream scenario for end-of-season ripening. Rain was not a factor, and for the second vintage in a row, the quality of the grapes was exceptional throughout Napa Valley.
