2019 Cygne Noir Napa Valley, Salon Select

Our Cygne Noir, or "Black Swan", is a bold combination of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It is delightfully aromatic and, once in the glass, releases lush notes of vanilla, coconut, and crushed violet. As the wine opens, the rich, bold palate emerges with firm tannins and notes of chocolate, espresso, and plum. Blackberries come to the front along with dark fruit flavors, a touch of clove spice and sage. Rounded on the palate this is a brooding wine with plenty of power and persistence.

Winemaker Notes

Each block was hand harvested individually and brought to the winery where the clusters were sorted again before being destemmed, with 50% crushed and 50% whole berries in the fermentation. The must was then allowed 2-4 days cold soak followed by a warm fermentation using a variety of different yeast strains. With two pump overs a day the wine was only pressed off the skins when dry. It was then sent to the barrel to undergo malolactic fermentation (lasting 6 months). Once this was complete it was racked one more time and then allowed to rest in barrels in our caves.

Vineyard Notes

The 2019 Cygne Noir was sourced from York Creek and Milat Ranch vineyards in Napa Valley. The wine was aged for 27 months in 75% new French oak barrels.
