he power of Napa shows in the rich, deeply red garnet color with aromas and flavors of dark red and black fruits, including black cherry, raspberry, blackberry and ripe plum. Notes of mocha, oak spice and cassis are accented with sea salt caramel and vanilla bean. Intense and full-bodied, the wine is balanced and well-structured with seamless acidity and evident but pleasing tannins. Approachable and welcoming now, the wine will continue to evolve and reveal more of its personality over the next decade.

This is nicely rendered, with a mix of gently mulled red and black currant fruit entwined with light sassafras, vanilla and anise notes. Fruit keeps the upper hand through the finish as the other notes meld in. Drink now through 2026. 30,000 cases made.
