THE VINEYARD: Nearly half of this year’s blend is sourced from the deep, well-drained soils of Oakville, which provides gorgeously dark, supple wines with fine tannins. Stags Leap District, Oak Knoll, Yountville, and Rutherford also find their place in the bottle, with the varying mesoclimates and soils of these vineyards integrating seamlessly into a 100% Napa Valley blend.
THE VINTAGE: The 2019 vintage could be called a winemaker’s dream. A long summer brought each block to its ideal ripeness. Our grapes were hand-harvested and the blend was aged for 22 months in French oak barrels (74% new). The combination of Bordeaux varieties that compose this wine provides it with a singular structure, balance, and flavor profile.
