“The distinctive mid-Valley flavor profile is deftly balanced by the distinct fruit of Napa’s eastern benchlands in this powerful wine that offers robust flavors and intense aromas. You can almost taste the history of a vineyard dating to the 19th century, and consistent over many decades. Hints of black currants, blackberry and black cherry are balanced with notes of cocoa, oak spice and cedar with finely grained tannins leading to a long, lingering finish. The longer growing season for slow ripening Cabernet leads to ever more complex wines of uncommon finesse, particularly when we marry two exceptional growing regions. This truly offers another view of Napa Valley, worthy to be deemed reserve and one you’ll surely enjoy upon release, or laid down to cellar for another decade.”
