On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and offers a well-balanced structure, with vibrant acidity that enlivens the experience, making it refreshing and mouthwatering. Layers of dark fruit, such as blackcurrant and plum, intertwine with inviting notes of baking spices and a touch of toast, contributing to its robust fruit intensity.

This delightful red blend is dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or savoring on its own, celebrating the artistry of winemaking in Oakville.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
