Napa Valley

Medium

Natural Cork

Dark ruby to the rim. There’s a wonderful lightness to this wine, with gentle, feathery tannins that are undoubtedly present but nicely integrated at this stage, making room for secondary characters of blackcurrant fruit, star anise, cigar box, and dried spearmint. There’s real levity here, with wonderfully fresh and vibrant acidity and nuances of black truffle and rooibos tea on the finish. Long and lifted. Aged for 20 months in 62% new French oak and sourced from older vines (15+ years) planted on Cortina soils and tasted in early September 2024 at the Napa Valley Vintners in St. Helena, California, as part of a lineup showcasing Napa Valley’s 2014 vintage a decade on.
