...beautiful white flower and citrus character as well as some marine and oyster shell nuances. With medium body, vibrant acidity, terrific balance, and a focused style, it’s reminiscent of a Grand Cru Chablis.

93Wine Spectator

Seductively creamy and open-textured, with a firm structure supporting the voluptuous apple pastry, coconut and mango flavors. Hints of dried sage show on the spicy finish.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Coombsville

The elevation varies from 100 to 1,000 feet, and the climate is moderated by marine breezes from the San Pablo Bay. The main grape varieties here are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Syrah and Pinot Noir.
