An exceptional blend of Napa Valley Merlot grapes selected specifically for their concentrated character provides layers of ripe blueberry and plum flavors complemented by aging in French oak barrel and a velvety texture.
A nearly opaque color sets in the glass with a hard, red complexion that is almost black. Aromas of ripe blueberries and candied plum mingle with toasted oak and charred vanilla. The entry is soft and inviting which paves the way for a lush mid-palate replete with layers of ripe boysenberry and cassis.
The 2021 growing season was preceded by mild and dry winter weather from January through March. Winter rainfall was largely absent across Northern California and the Napa Valley entered the growing season with rain totals that ranged from 40 to 60% below normal and had temperatures that were two to three degrees warmer than average.
The three varieties of Rhone are grown in our Backyard estate's vineyard and offer a sense of place and passion. We are working with McGah Vineyard Grenache in Rutherford to offer raise and concentrate along with great texture in order to complement our estate-grown field mix. Petite Sirah from the Shipoke vineyard in Calistoga completes the composition and gives focus and inky scope.
Think spring lemon blossoms and honeysuckle while the palate is medium bodied with snappy and refreshing summer melon fruit characters. This is a versatile white wine that will pair with a wide range of foods, daytime picnics and long summer nights.
Light, lifted, perfumed, cherries, blueberries, baking spice, with a touch of sweet tobacco. The body is lengthy and weighty with a juicy ripeness, medium tannins, and a well-rounded chewy finish. You could lay this down for up to 10 years or enjoy yesterday. Too good to pass up!
