We selected the grapes for this vintage from some of the best sites in Napa Valley, including Stagecoach Vineyard and vineyards in Oakville, Stags Leap, Coombsville and on the Silverado Bench. The 2015 season was warm and dry, and one of the earliest we’ve seen. It started with warm temperatures in late winter and spring that led to an early bud break. A cool May during bloom created a smaller than average crop, then mild weather through spring, summer and harvest allowed slow, even ripening that built full ripeness and complexity. The result was grapes with intense aromatics, concentrated ripe fruit flavors and outstanding structure and balance.

This red has a gush of cassis, creamed plum and melted red licorice notes, with hints of graphite giving it form, while cocoa and tobacco accents check in on the gutsy finish. A frankly rich wine that should gain a bit more nuance in the cellar. Drink now through 2035. 1,308 cases made.
