Three diverse vineyards in three Napa Valley appellations. The origin of these grapes is a closely guarded secret.
Grapes were hand-picked, crushed and fermented in small lots to preserve fruit character and prevent extraction of harsh tannins. Aging was in 1/3 new, 1/3 once filled, and 1/3 twice filled Nevers Oak barrels.
Winemaker, Gary Wooton created this elegant wine with a touch of classic Bordeaux married with Napa Valley style.
