Premiere Napa Valley Live Auction

Description

The long, cool season and small crop in 2010 yielded a wine of uncommon concentration. Rainfall returned after three years of drought, pushing bud break, flowering and fruit-set back by at least two weeks. The summer brought cooler-than-normal temperatures so the lag extended into the ripening season. The cool growing season continued until warm weather in late September and October brought the grapes to full ripeness. Upon release in 2013, dark, brooding flavors of berries and cassis danced with dusty minerality, baking spices and violet perfume. With almost 10 years in the bottle, this wine is singing!
