Wherefore
For our 2021 production cycle we added an “appellation series” of Napa Valley Zinfandel bottlings from three new vineyard sources in Calistoga, Oakville, and Yountville. This offering is sourced from Napa Valley’s largest organically farmed vineyard. It saw just six months in barrel, an approach intended to let the fruit shine. Its cascading layers, delicate on the nose and more intense on the palate, hint at years of showing and proving to come.
