Winemaker Notes
This wine greets the nose with rich aromas of dark red cherry, black cherry and black currant, intertwined with baking spices and a touch of sweet oak. The palate bursts with vibrant, fresh fruit, elevated by lively acidity. Supple tannins and a smooth texture reveal layers of spice and subtle oak undertones. A generous, well-balanced wine with impressive depth, it is anchored by the structure of its Cabernet Sauvignon core.
Production
The 2022 growing season began with some much-needed winter rain that provided moisture to the soils. A pleasant spring ushered an early budbreak, with some rapid cane development. In early May, there was an unusual cool spell which led to an extended bloom for our white varietals and early reds. Summer was very consistent and provided the prime growing conditions we so love here in Napa Valley, with harvest beginning on the 15th of August. This was followed by an intense heat spell at the beginning of September that resulted in great concentration of flavors. After the heat subsided, temperatures cooled, and harvest continued into early November, yielding grapes with rich, vibrant flavors and bright acidity.
