Corley | Yountville | 1.5L
This wine is offering wonderful aromas of dark blackberry, cassis, hints of vanilla, and undertones of sweet caramel from the barrels. On the palate, the wine is bold upon entry, with characteristically robust tannins on the edges of the palate. The midpalate is full, providing depth and a strong foundation. The finish is long and lingering, and with a slight grip, as is typical for this vineyard.

Vineyard Notes
We are very excited about the 2014 vintage. As of the time of this writing, the 2014
vintage represents three of four consecutive years of phenomenal quality wines from
our vineyards and across Napa Valley. It was one of the driest years on record, but
the little rain that we had was well-timed, and the vines were thankful and happy. For
our vineyards, the vintage was considered ‘normal’ in terms of timing. The growing
season was relatively consistent, with no major heat spikes. In general, the wines from
2014 are displaying ripe fruit, great structure and balance.
Other Notes
Drink now through 2037. We suggest decanting 30-60 min prior to serving.
