The 2020 vintage marks the fourth micro-production vineyard designate from Twisted Oak Vineyard in Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley. The nose is bold and expressive, with intense black fruit layered with leather and a distinct old-world Barolo charm. On the palate, the wine unfolds with black cherry and toasted peppercorn, delivering a tapestry of dark, savory, and mineral-rich flavors. The powerful texture, framed by firm, structured tannins, carries the experience to a very long finish. Aged for 28 months in 72% new French oak. 169 cases produced.

Vintage Notes:
Mild temperatures augured an ideal start to the 2020 growing season, with low winter rainfall contributing to an early bud break. Warm summer conditions were buffered by cool mornings heading into harvest, promoting evenhanded flavors and structure.
