Napa Valley

Cork

Everyone dissed this rainy, cold vintage, but it turned out a surprising number of exceptional wines, especially on Howell Mountain. Unlike To Kalon in western Oakville, Cimarossa had clusters of fully ripe fruit by late October and Kenward didn’t even need to sort! 

This wine has structure and complexity: a pronounced graphite and rose-petal nose, with very pretty red fruit, liquorice and mineral flavours, displaying verve and energy. It’s a savoury, very expressive style, and though the alcohol level is 14.6%, it feels as though it’s less than that.
