VINEYARD NOTES

The 2023 vintage commenced 3 to 4 weeks behind the previous 10-year average due to heavy rainfall and cold temperatures but in the end, we had amazing flavor development from this longer hang time, as well as beautiful color and phenolics that gave us perfect building blocks to craft perfectly balanced and delicious wines across the board.

Redefining the art of the blend

Inspired by the original red blend first made by Italian immigrants who settled in Napa Valley, this expressive wine carries that spirit forward through an unexpected mix of varietals and a distinctly modern point of view.
