Highly Recommended

VineSugar Review:

Shocking that such quality hailing from Napa Valley can be found at such value. This wine brings awesome structure with an elegant balance. Ripe, fleshy black cherries, herbal notes with hearty oak nuances. Full, sultry flavors with a rich texture. Flavors of blueberries, coffee and a core of chocolate and earth notes. Finish is long with qualities of blackberries pencil shavings and mocha.

Winemaker Notes

The red wines of 1999 tend toward lush intensity and balanced tannins. Our 1999 Signature achieves this masterfully, with the added bonus of bright fruit expression, integrated oak and a rich finish.

A concentrated nose of cassis, dark chocolate and cedar are highlighted by hints of oak sweetness. The soft tannins are layered with lovely black cherry and currant flavors. Patience will only reward those who watch this wine improve over the next two decades.
