The Merlot vineyard is located in the Oak Knoll Appellation of the Napa Valley, its deep rich soils allow for great healthy vines with even crop production. The Cabernet in this bottling comes from the St. Helena Appellation, this rocky vineyard is one of the harder working sites, it gives very small berried clusters with great concentration. The final component is the Malbec from Wooden Valley in Napa Country.
From the winemaker – “Nice aromas of plum, cheery, spice and a hint of smoky earth. The flavors on the pallet follow suit. The fruit has a sold rich core with very well-balanced acidity to lengthen the enjoyment of the wine. Still a young wine that opens nicely over the course of a few hours.”
This wine pairs nicely with roast pork, pork chops, pork tenderloin, ham or mild sausage. Mild, firm cheeses like Swiss or Gouda. Hard cheeses like Parmigiano or Romano and savory cheese like Cheddar.
