Wine Profile

Production Notes

Blend Composition: 70% Syrah, 30% Grenache

Winemaker Notes

This Syrah-dominant blend reveals inviting aromas of red currant, ripe strawberries and red licorice, underscored by delicate floral notes and a touch of cigar box. On the palate, vibrant red fruit takes center stage, complemented by the bold mountain tannins typical of Grenache. A savory thread of dried herbs adds complexity, while the wine’s juicy texture leads to a lingering, refined finish.

Production

The 2022 growing season began with some much-needed winter rain that provided moisture to the soils. A pleasant spring ushered an early budbreak, with some rapid cane development. In early May, there was an unusual cool spell which led to an extended bloom for our white varietals and early reds. Summer was very consistent and provided the prime growing conditions we so love here in Napa Valley, with harvest beginning on the 15th of August. This was followed by an intense heat spell at the beginning of September that resulted in great concentration of flavors. After the heat subsided, temperatures cooled, and harvest continued into early November, yielding grapes with rich, vibrant flavors and bright acidity.
