Description
Exemplifies the winery’s commitment to producing classic, age-worthy wines. Cultivated at elevations between 1,800 and 2,400 feet, the vineyards impart a rugged mountain character to the wine. On the nose, it reveals aromas of lilac, dried sage, and graphite, leading to a palate layered with wild mountain blueberry, maraschino cherry, and blackberry flavors. The wine’s structure is defined by fine, statuesque tannins and energetic acidity, culminating in a long, dusty finish that promises excellent aging potential. This vintage has received critical acclaim, including a 97-point rating from Vinous, with Antonio Galloni noting its rich and bombastic nature, highlighted by dark fruit, incense, tobacco, licorice, spice, and mocha. This is a timeless Napa Valley classic that will continue to evolve over the next several decades.
