Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2017 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels to enhance structure and purity. Committed to full-circle organic farming since 2011, this production yields a deep ruby wine with remarkable approachability and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e A crunchy, fruity Napa Merlot with pine needles, chocolate, and berry fruit aromas, offering medium body, lightly austere structure, mushroom and bark undertones, and well-integrated tannins.
