Wine Advocate 93 points - A seductive style that’s openly fruity, showing supple plum and black cherry notes, with floral scents and spices, turning creamy and gaining a mocha-espresso-vanilla scent that’s enticing. Finishes
with a smooth texture, fine-grained tannins and then another burst of fruit. Drink now through 2025. From California.—J.L.

In addition, this wine was honored with the highest average score rating by the same magazine over the last 15 years.

| For five generations, my family has lived and loved the Napa Valley. Our grandfather settled here in the 1800s and from that moment forward, we’ve grown to understand there is simply no substitute for an intimate knowledge of the land that only comes by ”living” in the vineyard. Working the land with our own hands has given us insights into California winemaking that can’t be found in any book or corporate farm manual.
