Deep crimson colored, our 2006 exhibits aromas of blackberry, bing cherries, cassis and anise with smoke, vanilla pie crust and clove notes from oak ageing. This ageing additionally adds breadth and depth on the palate. This supple and easy drinking wine showcases its Napa heritage.

Unique attributes from each vineyard contribute to a wine with numerous layers of fruit and textural characteristics. After a gentle breaking of the skins, teh grapes were fermented in stainless steel for two weeks. The wine then aged for over 16 months in French and American oak before bottling.
