Tasting Notes

“Sourced from two beautiful sites, one in the western part of Oak Knoll AVA, the other a plot of old vines east of Yountville. Very small berries in 2020 give this wine a tight structure, and 15% new oak lends just a hint of roundness, vanilla, and floral notes. Immediately out of the bottle it is all freshness and elegant complexity – green berries, kiwi, lavender and jasmine, lime, and limestone aromas. Crisp and lengthy,  but not at all aggressive, it is quite drinkable now and will improve for 18-24 months at least. Far from the lavish and lush style of some Napa Sauvignons, this is a gentle, sophisticated, and food-friendly version for the enthusiast.”
