The Estate
In 2021, Napa Valley received only about one-third of our average rainfall, which showed in the vineyards. The vines were stressed, and yields were extremely low. While this isn’t good for business, it’s great for wine quality. The grapes were small, and the flavors were highly concentrated, which allowed us to craft wines of great intensity and depth. And with the deft hands of our winemaking team, we were able to maintain focus, precision, elegance, and beauty in these wines.
Wine Making
The Estate grapes were cold soaked for 4-5 days to coax out more color while maintaining a velvety tannin. The grapes were then fermented up to a maximum temperature of 94°F. The wines were drained off the skins after a total maceration of 8-10 days and racked to barrel to undergo malolactic fermentation and to age.
Food Suggestions
Pairs well with beef, lamb, deer, venison, mature and hard cheese, and poultry.
