This wine from the outstanding 2018 vintage is a blend of 71% cabernet sauvignon and 29% merlot, aged 16 months in 100% French oak barrels. Overall, 2018 was a year where quality was excellent. Cool temperatures in September made for a extended hang-time, allowing grapes to ripen and mature slowly with ideal balance and nuance.

There's no mistaking that it has pedigree as soon as you take in the bouquet. This Napa Valley red blend offers inviting aromas of blackberry and blueberry fruit along with hints of violet and white pepper. Medium-bodied, the wine has a lingering, round mid-palate with rich fruit flavors and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish is long and supple.
