The 2019 vintage was close to perfection on Candlestick featuring a long, moderate growing season where the low-yield clusters progressed in ideal fashion. The explosive, black mountain fruit is coupled with an exuberant bouquet of exotic floral and mineral notes. This marks our first year in partnership with Pete Richmond and Silverado Farming Company for vineyard management, and the attention to detail has been well worth the additional expense. With the notable press exposure, this small lot wine is certain to go quickly. Do not miss this opportunity to acquire one of the very best reds to be produced in the Napa Valley.
