Nose

On the nose woven aromas of sunbaked leather, allspice, cigar wrapper, graphite and anise emerge from the glass in intricate layers.

Palate

Notes of blackberry compote, crushed rock, cocoa nib, lavender oil, and burnt ends swirl and play off each other as the wine moves from the front to the back of the palate.

Growing Conditions

This is a wine that shows everything Napa Valley has to offer in one of its most outstanding vintages of the last 20 years.
