Tasting Notes:
"Deep garnet hues with aromas of cranberry, cassis, and black cherry, anchored by notes of  forest floor, marjoram, and cardamom. Flavors of black raspberry, mission fig, and spiced pomegranate are complemented by Mexican chocolate, leather, and sweet spices. A firm palate evolves with brooding tannins and a lingering finish. Aged for 28 months in 75% new French oak. Only 196 cases produced."

Vintage Notes:
The 2021 Napa Valley vintage is defined by low yields, small berries, and a smooth harvest. The second year of drought led to minimal rain, but the vines thrived with less pruning and fruit dropping. Harvest began early, and despite concerns over the drought, the resulting fruit is intensely flavored and concentrated resulting in wines that are focused and full of potential.
