Napa Valley

Natural Cork

At 13 years of age, the 2009 Ovid is fresh, lively, and teeming with energy. It is a powerful and still-youthful red wine rife with impressive purity of fruit, well-endowed with structure. Ripe blackberry fruit aromas are laced with tobacco spices, a pop of capsicum, black pepper, vanilla and cedar. Full-bodied with satiny red and black fruits, candied violets and sagebrush with slivers of iron shavings. Powerful tannins build on the finish, framed by a backbone of excellent acid tension and energy. Early vintages had been aged in 100% new French oak. Still, by 2009, with confidence building in farming and site selection and in the wines themselves, the winemaking team began backing down from all that new oak to usher in a new decade of transparency of place.
