Winemaker Notes
Hand-harvested in the early morning, the grapes were then delivered to the winery where they were hand sorted before being destemmed and partially crushed. Five days cold soak followed by a 14-day warm fermentation with two pump overs per day. The wine was pressed off and barreled down in 30% new French oak where it underwent natural malolactic fermentation. The wines then underwent 13 months élevage in 70% once-used oak barrels before they were blended. Wine was then lightly filtered before bottling.
Vintage Notes
2021 started off gently with sunny skies and a warm spring. But as the spring wore on with little rain, it became clear that 2021 would be a drought year. As the dry but beautifully sunny summer continued, winemakers prepared for a lightened crop load, yet the valley drifted into a beautiful fall as the weather ended being perfect. The grapes were in perfect condition leading to another great Napa Valley vintage showcasing wines with powerful and intense flavor.
Vineyard Notes
Sourced from famed Stagecoach vineyard in Napa Valley, the aim was to craft a Petit Verdot wine from some of our most reliable vineyard partnerships. Each vintage, delivering unequalled quality and value.
