Our flagship wine, a full-bodied, single vineyard red blend, grants a nod toward elegance for the 2015 vintage. This Bordeaux-style blend is silky, reserved and supremely balanced. Lush aromatics of raspberry and dark cherry with a hint of eucalyptus, The Oracle is decadent, but with finesse. Earthiness and layers of dried flowers and cocoa integrate harmoniously into a finely balanced marriage between tannin and acid, providing the structure that ensures, like all impeccable beauties, this wine is sure to age gracefully.
The 2015 vintage in the Napa Valley will be known for lower than average yields, but very high quality fruit. Higher than average temperatures occurred in late winter and early spring, resulting in an earlier bud break and bloom. Colder temperatures in May (in the peak of bloom) caused uneven fruit set, which resulted in a smaller crop compared to previous years. However, good things come in small packages and our winemaking team was very pleased with the results from this small and early vintage.
