2019 ALLUVIA

This wine is a study of the unique geology of our vineyard.  We have identified within particular blocks and rows a handful of vines that consistently  produce exceptional clusters within a vineyard that is already known for producing some of the highest quality grapes in Napa Valley.  These clusters are then isolated and fermented in barrel using native yeast with every attention to detail that one can expect from a completely hand made bottle of wine.  After 24 months in French oak barrels, the wine lays down in bottle for an additional three years before release.  Rich, layered and complex, the 2019 ALLUVIA exhibits a beautiful balance of elegance and opulence. This is winemaking in one of its purest forms. It's an expression of soil, climate artistry and the tension between Old World restraint and the vibrancy of the fruit produced from this historic dry farmed vineyard in Calistoga. The seductive nature of this wine can only be achieved in small quantities as it has been created without compromise.

1252 bottles numbered bottles were produced in 2019.
