Napa Valley

Natural Cork

The first whiff draws you in with savoury iron-stone minerality, complemented by fragrant wild herbs, liquorice, and perfumed kirsch nuanced by spearmint and rich, loamy earth. Terrifically rich and full-bodied with plump tannins that are perfectly woven around succulent redberry fruit splashes of rum-raisin notes, currants, and dried cranberry. The finish is exceedingly long with a more iron-like mineral quality that layers itself on the mid-palate and gives a lift to the heft of this wine. It’s really in the perfect spot right now and just splendid. Drink up and over the next 10 years. The Pritchard Hill wines are the best lots from the estate. Director of winemaking Phillip Corralo-Titus and his team begin tasting lots in March after each harvest, zeroing in on lots with perfect levels of colour, tannin, and complex anthocyanins. One point of evolution in the flagship Pritchard Hill Cabernet wines is that since 2018, no Malbec or Cabernet Franc has made the final cut.
