TASTING NOTES

“In the rock and roll band of cabernet, this is the brooding bass player. Powerful and dark yet mysteriously understated. Hints of black cherry, exotic woods, and fresh nuts. Firmly sculpted tannins reverberate to a cocoa powder finish.” – Mike McGrath, Winemaker

VINEYARDS & VINTAGE

2011 was among the cooler vintages seen in Napa in recent times. A delayed spring and continued cool weather throughout the summer resulted in an extremely late start to harvest. Fruit was harvested by hand on October 22.

This block has a southwestern exposure. Vine training is on a split canopy with 45-degree crossarms, which enhances fruit exposure and air circulation. It provides enough shade to avoid sunburn, yet optimal sun penetration for full ripening of the small berries.
