The nose has nicely evolved aromas of plum and cedar with deeper black cherry notes. The palate has a restrained entry of rich push plum mid-palate, finishing with explosions of cherry jam and serious oak.

Vineyard Notes

Our more than quarter-century old vines lie in the Napa Valley, south of 9 acres of reservoirs sandwiched between two forested knolls. These geographic conditions led to hot days, cool nights and an extremely long hang-time in our Calistoga Vineyard.

This allows our grapes to develop full flavors, deep color, and intense complexity. Our thick, gnarled old vines produce from their hearts. The vines live on in our wine… bud to flower to berry to wine… Sempre Vive!
