The 2014 growing season in the Napa Valley was defined by the driest winter in recorded history. Almost black garnet in color the wine exhibits layers of black berry, cherry, cassis and plum. There is a core minerality with violet and blueberry tones. The oak is well integrated and has nice toast aroma with hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, the wine is lush and firm showing supple well integrated tannins. This wine can be enjoyed now and will age for 15 years. It is very elegant.
