One of the many benefits of growing grapes in the Napa Valley is the almost limitless bounty that Mother Nature bestows upon us. So generous in fact, in good vintages, Rolando will often discover a few barrels that are clearly superior to everything else in the cellar. Those barrels that prove to be truly unique & distinctive will form Mi Sueño’s limited-production, ultra-premium “Herrera” label. Only to be produced in years when Rolando feels that the vintage warrants special recognition. Considering the painstaking nature of this process, production will be limited to no more than 100 cases.
Named in honor of Rolando’s first born child, Rebecca, this wine is a reflection of her character: sophisticated, refined & well-structured which when combined, will leave a distinct & memorable impression.
Tasting notes from Owner & Winemaker Rolando Herrera:
“This wine possesses tremendous structure and concentration while simultaneously maintaining an impeccable sense of terroir. The bouquet is loaded with mocha, roasted espresso and ripe black fruits. The mouth feel is expansive and satisfying with great richness and a superior tannin structure. A long, persistent finish offers lingering hints of toasty oak, caramel and most importantly, it leaves the impression of a well-balanced wine. A true gift of Mother Nature.”
