I am from: Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA — one of the most esteemed terroirs in Napa, known for rich fruit and balanced structure. 

The Story

I’m crafted entirely from estate-grown fruit in the heart of Rutherford, where sun-soaked days and cooling evening breezes shape wines of both generosity and poise. My blend brings together classic Napa varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon for backbone and structure, Merlot for red-fruit charm, Malbec for lush character, and Petit Verdot for an elegant floral touch. Juicy notes of blackberry and cassis burst forward, with hints of tobacco and spice adding depth and intrigue. I’m designed to reflect both the heritage of this iconic AVA and the playful sophistication that makes Napa wines so alluring.

Why You’ll Love Me

I welcome you with rich aromas of ripe dark fruit, violet, and a whisper of tobacco leaf. On the palate, I’m plush yet balanced, with juicy blackberry and cassis framed by smooth, integrated tannins and a touch of earthy nuance. My finish lingers with layered complexity — a wine that feels both immediately inviting and endlessly engaging. I’m equally at home with hearty fare or simply savored on my own, the kind of blend that keeps the conversation flowing long after the last pour.
