The perfect year is the perfect amount of adversity applied evenly throughout the growing season at all the perfect times.

“Ten-year-old Napa Valley wines are starting to meld and integrate, showing quality that’s tight, dense and layered, coming off a cool year in the valley that saw many opulent wines. Wines from 2001 to 2010 saw a string of great vintages throughout the valley, notably 2007 due in part to excellent weather. Profiles range from ripe, elegant and balanced to austere and tannic. Vintages from 2006 and below are all ready to be opened and enjoyed.”

...I can confirm 2019 is an outstanding vintage for Napa Cabernet with loads of bright, generous, evocative wines..."

...the pure harmony and unprecedented balance in the well-made 2018s, both red and white, are very special and it’s hard to think of a better vintage for those looking for finesse and refinement in their young wines from Napa.

I can’t wait to taste more 2018s and 2019s with the trend for beautiful and harmonized wines shining so brightly in my tastings.

The wine is bottled poetry.
