His goal: to create wines that are both graceful and worthy of ageing, wines to enjoy with a friends at dinner tonight, or to age in your cellar for years to come. | St. Helena, CA

An extra year of bottle aging insures that this wine is ready to drink and enjoy now, or it can certainly be cellared and enjoyed at a later date.

2001 Alta Tierra
Napa Valley
The 2001 Alta Tierra is deep ruby in color with ripe aromas of black cherry and plum. French oak imparts a subtle caramel characteristic, complimenting the blueberry flavors. The f ... moreinish lingers with hints of chocolate and tobacco. Longer bottle aging creates subtle balanced tannins.

2003 Merlot
Napa Valley
All of our wines come from our estate vineyard in the eastern hills just south of the Stags Leap appellation. Having an estate vineyard gives us complete control over every detail ... moregrowing the grapes to enhance and improve the quality of our wines. The 2003 vintage is very accessible and ready to drink with a wide range of dishes. This vintage of Merlot has a refreshing leanness to it, with a bright, tapered finish. It’s a focused wine, with smoky bark notes from a mix of mostly French and a bit of American oak. The flavors and aromas are forward, perfumed plush red fruit, and ripe without being overpowering – a wine that goes with food. There is also a touch of cedar from the oak barrels. The combination of structure, depth and richness makes this 2003 Merlot drinkable now but it could easily age if you can wait. Please enjoy our 2003 Merlot with family and friends.
