80% Cabernet Sauvignon 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc 100% Napa Valley This wine comes entirely from hillside vineyards located exclusively in the Napa Valley. The color is a deep, dark, and dense red. The nose gives notes of earthiness, coffee bean, vanilla, coconut, dark chocolate, cocoa and violet. The mouthfeel is big, viscous and full of complexity with layers of ripe black fruits, sweet cherry, and licorice followed by a finish that is long and lush. This wine is structured, with well-integrated tannins that will allow it to age gracefully. Production: 585 cases of 750ml; 150 bottles of 1.5 L Bottling: June 2002 Aging: 20 months in 59 gallon barrels; 65% new oak Release: Spring 2003
