Description

2023 was the vintage of our lifetime and the individual wines used to produce this special PNV offering are delicious on their own; collectively they produced a blockbuster, one-of-a-kind offering that will truly be a special addition to your cellar.

We produced this classic red blend from our best barrels used to produce our Layla Cabernet Sauvignon wine. The wine is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon from Tucker Vineyard (Coombsville) and Stagecoach Vineyard. The Malbec is from Melrose Vineyard (Rutherford) and the Merlot is from Orchard Avenue Vineyard (Oak Knoll). The combo of mountain and valley floor fruit has resulted in a wine of great balance, complexity and length.
