Very short yields in 2019 from a small collection of hillside and bench-land vineyards in Calistoga, Rutherford, and Oak Knoll created a wine of Napoleonic stature – compact and powerful with a winning character. A battalion of ripe black fruit and blueberry compote is infused with sultry spices, charcuterie, clove, and dark chocolate aromas. Expansive on entry, the broad-reaching palate develops a tailing regiment with crushed rock, toffee, and polished tannins.
