RATINGS

97Vinous / IWC

Bittersweet chocolate, cloves and lavender add gravitas. The 2019 is positively stellar.

97Jeb Dunnuck

Lots of ripe dark berry fruits, leafy herbs, tobacco, and earthy nuances define the nose, and it’s more up-front and textured on the palate, with velvety tannins and an undeniably delicious, mouth-filling style.

95The Wine Advocate

...opulent black berry pie, cassis and black cherry compote notes with touches of Chinese five spice, fruitcake and chocolate mint. Full-bodied, decadently rich and juicy, it has a velvety texture and a long and exotic spice-laced finish.

94James Suckling

Ink-pot, blackberry and licorice aromas. So aromatic. Full-bodied with walnuts and forest flowers. Dense, yet fruity and floating on the palate. Round tannins.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, St. Helena

St. Helena AVA is at the northern end of Napa Valley just north of Rutherford and south of Calistoga. It is a relatively warm climate thanks to the Mayacamas Mountains on its western edge, which protect it from Pacific Ocean fog. Out of the 9,000 acres in the appellation, some 1,500 are under vine. The principal grapes grown in St. Helena are the Bordeaux grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. St. Helena is considered prime wine producing territory, and it was one of the first important wine producing regions in northern California. The legendary Charles Krug founded his winery just north of the town of St. Helena in 1873, and today the appellation is home to many prestigious producers, including Abreu, Grace Family and Spottswoode.
