Stellar wines are a story of place. This Meritage is not only a classic Bordeaux blend, but a blend of the best hillside vineyards that Napa Valley has to offer. The power of Coombsville, the elegance of Atlas Peak and the dark intensity of the mountains of the Southern Napa gateway are the home of the hallmark vineyards that are the foundation of this wine. The wine is a testament to the subtle art of Meritage: 44% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petite Verdot. It has matured over 19 months in small handcrafted barrels sourced from the Allier and Nevers forests of France.

More a waltz than any other dance, this wine moves from one component to the next creating a seamless flow of currant, black cherry, and hints of olive in a blend that displays both potential for aging and a rich reward for pulling the cork sooner.  - Winery
