While the majority of the fruit comes from the floor of the Napa Valley to achieve the richness and elegance desired, we also relied on some grapes grown in the well-drained gravelly soils of the side slopes and at low elevations in the more mountainous areas for a blend with more structure and complexity than we could have achieved had we used fruit grown solely in a single region. Napa Valley AVAs: Oakville, St. Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountains. Dark Plum in color.  Fragrant aromas of cocoa nibs, blackberries, boysenberry jame and pie crust greet you on the nose which rich flavors of black cherry pie filling, creamed plum, and a hint of clove swirl on the palate.  Elegant with strong acidity and a long, smooth finish of velvety tannins will have you begging for a second glass.  Enjoy this wine with a skirt steak and chimichurri sauce, beef bolognese or eggplant parmesan.
