Mission Briefing
Stream of consciousness
We’re super lucky to have found a small cache of today’s deliciously balanced wine that was made by the legendary Vincent Arroyo. His wines are always sublime - which makes today’s wine one heck of a steal.
Clever Operatives know that Vincent Arroyo is one of California’s most respected winemakers. His namesake winery, which has won numerous awards for their wines, was recently ranked #1 by Travel + Leisure Magazine. One sip of Vincent’s Otra Vez 2014 Calistoga Napa Cabernet Sauvignon will put Vincent on your Top List, too!
This wine inviting and intriguing on the nose, with balanced aromas of raspberry, red licorice, plum, candy apple, red currant, blackberry compote, dried fall leaves and black pepper. Juicy, earthy and softly spiced, this balanced wine shows off flavors of blackberry preserve, plum, dried earth, stewed black fruit, slate minerals, pencil shavings and black pepper.
The Napa Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area) is located in Napa County, California, United States. Napa Valley is considered one of the foremost wine regions in the world. Wine grapes thrive here, due to the combination of geography, the Mediterranean climate and geology of the region, which are perfect for wine grape growing. The region was established as a wine-growing region with its first commercial vineyard, which was planted in 1858.
Enjoy!
