The fruit for this wine was harvested exclusively from our estate vineyard in Napa Valley. Cold soaked for four days prior to fermentation, barrel aged for 19 months in 100% French Oak, with minimal intervention, this voluptuous wine is classic in style while still showing its California heritage.

Formally educated in enology and winemaking at the University of Bordeaux, our winemaker, Brian Graham, worked and was mentored at Chateau Roquefort. He went on to further his studies at the Wine and Spirits Education Trust in London, after which time he worked for a boutique winery in Burgundy, Domaine Serrigny-Jean-Pierre and Fils in Savigny-Les-Beaune. These two experiences gave him the foundation for creating balanced, terroir-driven wines that are meant to be original, complex and age-worthy.
