Description
The Napa Valley is traversed by two roads, the best known being State Highway 29, which passes through Yountville, Rutherford, St Helena and Calistoga on its way north. Our West Side Story is a juicy, dark Cabernet Sauvignon cuvee blended from key vineyards on the West Side of this highway. And unlike the outcome of the Broadway play of the same name, this wine finishes in harmony and good length.
