Luxurious aromas of blueberry crme brle, mixed black and blue fruit mlange, and red cherries burst from the glass with an enticing hint of lightly grilled brioche bread. The ripe fruit flavors dance along the palate and intertwine with flavors of roasted coffee and salted churned butter. The wines ample fruit focus is balanced by supple, velvety tannins that give way to an astonishingly silky-smooth finish. Single plot, Single Clone selections from the famed and oldest Napa Beckstoffer To Kalon vineyard in Oakville. Aged exclusively in world-renowned Darnajou French oak barrels from Montagne St. Emilion.
