Description
WINEMAKER NOTES: The 2020 Napa Valley vintage was “unforgettable” – Ideal growing conditions of cool mornings and dry afternoons, but with the beginning of the pandemic and the big fire in late September had all hands jittery. By pure luck, we had all our grapes harvested and fermented just days before the inferno, and were one of the fortunate few to produce a 2020 red that was free from taint. Many other wineries were not so lucky, so the few good wines from 2020 should cause excitement.
TASTING NOTES: After almost 2 years in barrel, this wine has a rich garnet color, and classic Cabernet aromas with leather, cocoa, cherry and spice. With touches of chestnut and nutmeg, it
comes off clean. Consistent with flavors that continue the aromatics, with ample tannin and body to age beyond the next decade, but delightful now with anything barbequed and rich after decanting to add oxygen to allow it to open up. An authentic hand produced, fruit driven Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
VARIETALS: 85%Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot
APPELLATION: Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley
