Who would have known the shores of Pomerol and Saint-Émilion could cross path with Napa Valley! This gem of a blend is proving the connection to Bordeaux and that Napa Valley can produce elegant, refined and so complex Bordeaux-style blend in the purest French style.

With a dark color, it shows a complex and refined nose, with cedar and blackberry aromas accented with fine leather and cedar notes. On the palate, you will discover a full-bodied wine, smooth but tightly wound. Cedar, graphite, and gentle leather return, all perfectly integrated, with a persistent and elegant finish. It has a lovely texture, with super-fined tannins and sublime integration of oak showing black pepper and firmness with cedar characters. Enjoy now over red meat or a ragu!

Napa Valley’s 2017 harvest wrapped up early in the Fall following Summer heat spurts and a growing season that saw significant rain throughout the North Coast ending a 5-year drought.
