Description

This rare expression of Napa Valley winemaking is one of only 60 bottles that will ever be made. Think of it as a bit of Napa Valley history in your cellar and celebrated in a glass with friends and family.
Your Premiere Napa Valley wine is a single-barrel passion project from the Oakville estate of Entre Nous. The fruit was sourced from their organically farmed, 26-acre Oakville estate, which is Philippe Melka’s sole Oakville project. Ancient winemaking techniques were taken to the extreme by hand-selecting every berry, blending only the best lots from the estate vineyard and aging exclusively in Taransaud T5 barrels. The structured finesse and graceful balance mark the resulting wine as the work of a master craftsman.


Wine Facts

  • Single vineyard wine
  • Sustainably produced
  • Organically produced (also commonly called "organically grown")
