Dark, ruby red in color with gorgeous aromas of cherry, lavender, rose, blackberry, plum, and sasparilla. The generous flavors are juicy, dense, and persistent with a core of cherry, plum, chocolate-covered strawberry, and notes of baking spices.
Vineyard Notes
Developed in the 1940s, Triere vineyard sits on the valley floor at an elevation of 100' and is located in the Oak Knoll district of Napa Valley. The soils consist of Cortina stony loam coupled with Yolo clay loam that provide excellent drainage.
Winemaker Notes
The 2013 growing season was early, even, and excellent! The early bud break and consistently moderate temperatures throughout spring and summer resulted in exceptional vine health and optimal ripening. We were able to take our time planning vineyard picks to ensure the highest quality fruit with complex flavors and refined phenolic profiles.
