The FUTO SETA offers “a broader view of what we do through the lens of hillside farming and the two appellations we are in—Oakville and Stags Leap,” says winemaker Jason Exposto. Some co-fermentation between the Stags Leap and Oakville estate fruit creates the framework, followed by a meticulous barrel selection for the final blend. Native fermented in stainless steel, the wine was aged 23 months in 50% new French oak, including larger-format barrels. The purity of crunchy dark berry fruit is striking, layered with gorgeous perfumed rose petal notes and fragrant minerality. The palate builds into a medium-bodied expression, supported by incredibly well-built, sophisticated tannins with impressive grip. While teeming with energy and tension, the wine remains generous in fruit weight, underpinned by cool, wet slate and elegant brown spice nuances. Everything is seamlessly in balance—a beautifully expressive and refined wine.
