Description
With an iconic view of the Napa Valley, Tetz Family Vineyards is located in Deer Park at the foot of the Howell Mountain nested appellation. This is where the wonderful grapegrowing climate and lava-rich soil produce such flavorful concentrated low-yielding fruit. The Tetz family tends to the vines themselves, showing commitment to producing ultra premium fruit. The wine was carefully fermented to not over-extract, and is now aging in French oak for 22 months in caves on the hillside of Soda Canyon.
