Tasting Notes Black cherry, plum, licorice, earth, and dried herb aromas. Medium- to full-bodied with dense fruit and oak flavors. Our version of classic Napa Cab.
Vintage Notes What began with a wet winter and spring continued with rainfall into mid-June that delayed bloom and disrupted fruit set resulting in shatter in parts of the region set the stage for a long, cooler-than-average growing season. This timetable continued through the somewhat cool summer season. Few high heat events occurred at any point this year, vine canopies were opened up to ensure sunlight, warmth, and good air circulation around the grape clusters. The shatter resulting from the rain events in June was variable by vineyard location hitting some locations harder. We had a later-than-average harvest beset with an early October rainstorm.
