2020 vintage will be remembered for factors beyond the normal measurements. In Napa, it was a dry and warm winter and we didn’t start to see rain and cold weather until the end of March. While the mild Spring gave us a great early start, we worked under extensive safety protocols due to the COVID Pandemic. August was marked with one of the longest heat waves on record which led us to harvest in mid-September; and fortunately spared us from the smoke of the nearby wildfires that ravaged the region starting September 29th.
A Napa Green Certified vineyard located at south eastern edge of Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. A perfect micro-climate, not too hot and not too cold allows exceptional fruit development and Cabernet with bright character and elegance.
Opulent aromas of red berries, fall spice and roses command the nose. Juicy with a big gush of cassis and maraschino cherry on the palate. The finish is smooth and spicy, with hints of red hot chili pepper, cinnamon and anise.
