FOOD PAIRING
VINEYARD
THE VINEYARD: The fruit for this wine comes primarily from our legendary To Kalon Vineyard, which is located on prime benchland in the Oakville District appellation. The well-drained, low-fertility soils and optimal sun exposure enable the development of rich, complex flavors, impeccable phenolic maturity, and beautiful varietal character.
THE VINTAGE: The 2023 vintage in Napa Valley was exceptional. Consistent, mild weather throughout the season gave us one of the longest growing seasons in over a decade. An abundance of sunshine allowed grapes to ripen slowly and develop maximum flavor concentration while maintaining great acidity—leading to a wine with freshness, purity, and elegance.
