Aromas of cinnamon red candy, plum, cranberry, vanilla bean and toasty oak harmonize with a floral perfume of violets. A soft, fruity entry re-states graceful plum and cranberry fruit, spice and cola. Supple tannins support an elegant and structured wine. Raspberry, red apple and a hint of mocha linger on the finish.

Additional Notes
Additional Notes
The 2008 vintage continued a dry pattern that began in 2007, making it the 2nd year in a 3-year drought cycle in Napa Valley. Overall yields were down 35% on average compared to 2007, due in part to an April frost and lower overall rainfall totals. The resulting wines are balanced and show intense, concentrated flavors and aromas.
