Radiant lavender purple colour. Striking aromatics of blueberry and Californian olliaberries, with a light hint of violet. The palate is so full of brightness and energy. An intensity of flavours that belies its second wine title, with a fine central kernel of soft tannins. The combination of sweetness of fruit, a finish of mocha and energetic freshness make this a deliciously rewarding wine. A Pauillac-esque blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc,1.5% Merlot, 1% Malbec and 0.5% Petit Verdot.
This small town north of San Francisco has grown up to be one of California’s most famous wine regions. It is home to opulent Cabernets and sweetly-spiced Zinfandels, grown across many sub-regions including Stags Leap, Rutherford, Oakville and others. Cooling ocean fogs roll in from the Pacific at night and burn off in the summer sunshine, keeping the region cooler than you would expect for its latitude, and help produce some of the best Californian wines. Napa wines have the concentration and structure to age magnificently.
