Wine Flight
Estate Merlot - Yountville 2018
Upon smelling our 2018 Merlot you'll be greeted with aromas of a fresh boysenberry pie and beautiful hibiscus floral impressions, along with hints of pencil shavings and bay leaf. Tasting it reveals an echo of berry and maraschino cherry flavors, with savory and tart nuances of pomegranate molasses. The small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec in the blend give the wine length on the finish and added complexity. The supple and silky texture belies the structure that will surely allow it to age beautifully.
Cabernet Sauvignon - Atlas Peak 2018
The grapes are hand-harvested and gently crushed to retain 50% whole berries. The free-run and press wines were kept separate; the resulting bottled wine is almost entirely from free-run juice. Following fermentation, the wine went through malolactic fermentation in the barrel. The wine was aged in 56% new French oak and the balance in once-used oak barrels for 20 months with minimal racking. The wine received about ten months of bottle aging prior to release.
