Fruit sourced from the Faust Vineyard in Coombsville, along with vineyard sites in Yountville and Oak Knoll create a hauntingly expressive wine. Violets erupt out of the glass, partnered with black plum and espresso. Firm tannins equate backbone with a stylish demeanor. Ultimately juicy and energetic, with notes of graphite, fennel, sandalwood and a distinct tension. Aged 20 months in (25% new) French oak.
Floral tones meld with citrus and white tea leaves, honeyed apples, pineapple tart, and a stony sleekness. Sapidity is enhanced thanks to a vibrant acidity, and it finishes with a dulcet tone of pink grapefruit and mango.
This Cabernet punches above its weight class, with a silky texture ribboned with hints of cassis and dark cherry. The edges are plush and inviting, the vinous equivalent of a comforting lullaby. This red named for the dimensions of Napa Valley (5 miles wide and 30 miles long) is chockablock full of pure pleasure.
Gluten free and zero sugar, with a low abv of 13.5 percent adds up to a well-balanced, dry red with high-toned acidity and a spicy character. Pomegranate and candied apple take center stage, with a touch of salinity on the energetic finish.
Plum and black pepper merge for an intense red with balanced acidity. Savory notes of cigar leaf and soy sauce are savory while violets and boysenberry add verve.
Taste the fruit first – generous plum and crushed blackberry, with underlying notes of roasted coffee and sandalwood.
A linear, cut-glass style, with prominent citrus notes that cleanse the palate. Zippy acidity leaves a lasting freshness.
Made from Chardonnay verjus, the fresh juice from early harvested grapes, this cheerful bubbly is peachy clean, with an inner brightness and soft mousse that reveals lime chiffon.
