RATINGS

93James Suckling

...solid red with blackberry, currant and dark-chocolate aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Shows firmness and focus.

91The Wine Advocate

...pronounced notes of baked plums, stewed black cherries and blackberry preserves plus hints of spice cake, menthol and chocolate box. Full-bodied, rich and softly textured, it has just enough balancing freshness and a perfumed finish.

91Wine Spectator

Delivers well-honed flavors of dried raspberry, dark plum and mocha, with a hint of dried beef. Shows toasty notes in the midpalate, with a firmly tannic finish marked by black licorice.

91Vinous / IWC

It offers pretty floral and spice accents along with red cherry jam, raspberry and mocha flavors.

91Jeb Dunnuck

...dense, concentrated wine with plenty of darker, plummy, blue fruits, notes of tobacco and graphite, medium to full body, and ripe tannins...beautiful, balanced wine...

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley

Napa Valley AVA is the most famous winemaking region in the United States and one of the most prestigious in the world. With nearly 43,000 acres of vineyards and more than 300 wineries, it is the heart of fine wine production in the United States. Winemaking started in Napa in 1838 when George C. Yount planted grapes and began producing wine commercially. Other winemaking pioneers followed in the late 19th century, including the founders of Charles Krug, Schramsberg, Inglenook and Beaulieu Vineyards. An infestation of phylloxera, an insect that attacks vine roots, and the onset of Prohibition nearly wiped out the nascent Napa wine industry in the early 20th century. But by the late 1950s and early 1960s Robert Mondavi and other visionaries were producing quality wines easily distinguishable from the mass-produced jug wines made in California’s Central Valley. Napa Valley’s AVA was established in 1983, and today there are 16 sub-appellations within the Napa Valley AVA. Many grapes grow well in Napa’s Mediterranean climate, but the region is best known for Cabernet Sauvignon. Chardonnay is also very successfully cultivated, and about 30% of the AVA’s acreage is planted to white grapes, with the majority of those grapes being Chardonnay,
