On the palate, it presents a full-bodied structure, supported by firm, yet velvety tannins that add a harmonious balance to the wine. The acidity is bright and refreshing, enhancing the overall complexity while allowing the prominent fruit flavors to shine through. This wine is perfectly dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with grilled meats or rich pasta dishes. With time, it can evolve further, rewarding those who are patient enough to cellar it.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
