Napa Valley

Cork

Unlike 2008, frost was not an issue in 2009, but many Napa wines were marked by the storm in mid-October. Luckily for Cimarossa, it was picked just before. For this vintage, Ames and Kenward harvested in the early morning, de-stemmed while bunches were still cold, and let cold soaks and fermentation last for 21 days. They were still using Taransaud barrels at this point. 

Though this is a powerful wine with dark boysenberry fruit, it has mid-palate fleshiness and silky tannins. 

300 cases produced.
