Wine Profile & Ratings
Tasting Notes
Expressive and appealing, this full-bodied wine is bursting with richness and texture.
Experience our traditional aromas of strawberry, cola, cinnamon and hints of graham
crackers on the nose. Ripe red berry flavors are balanced by light vanilla oak notes
that transition into a deep finish of dark berry fruit.
Vineyard Notes
We’re very excited about the 2015 vintage. As of the time of this writing, the 2015 vintage represents the fourth of five consecutive years of phenomenal quality wines from our vineyards and across Napa Valley. 2015 remained a relatively dry growing season, and the crop yields across our different vineyards was generally lower than normal. The fruit displayed great purity and intensity, which was translated quite well through to the finished wines. In general, the wines from 2015 are displaying ripe fruit, great structure and balance.
Food Pairing Notes
Easter Brunch or Thanksgiving dinner! This wine is wonderful with ham as well as duck or goose. Pairs deliciously with traditional turkey and all the trimmings, especially cranberry.
