97 Points - Bonfort's Wine & Spirits Journal

Prepare to be pleasantly enchanted by captivating aromas of black cherry, cassis, and oak that envelope your senses.  This exquisite wine showcases a luscious ripe essence of blackberry and black cherry, which are artfully complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and spice on the palate.  Full-bodied in texture, and remarkably velvety.  The tannins gracefully interweave, establishing a flawless equilibrium of acidity and pleasing fruit.  It's gratifying finish lingers on the palate for an eternity.
Elegant and complex.  Perfectly aged.  An outstanding wine! 

Grapes for this gem were meticulously handpicked from Napa Valley's Kenefic Ranch in Calistoga, aged in French oak barrels for 22 months. The result is a harmoniously intricate flavor profile that exudes sophistication.

Very approachable now, and has plenty of depth, structure, and complexity to lay down for another 5-8 years.

Less than a hundred cases EVER MADE and we have just enough to share with you today.  While it lasts!

Pairings include Bone-in pork chop, duck confit, earthy cheese, slow-roasted prime rib, chocolate truffle, even a fine cigar by the fireplace.

Vintage
In 2019, warm days and cooler nights in late August and early September were ideal for ripening the grapes and produced big, bold wines with huge fruit and tons of richness. We're pleased with this vintage and only wish there was more!
