Description
Aromas of carved Spanish cedar and lit tobacco float through the air. On the palate, beautiful and whimsical notes of black licorice, rolled tobacco leaves, and earthy fennel fronds give way to a soft transition into the lengthy finish full of velvety melted dark chocolate and salty sour umeboshi plums.

The 2015 vintage in Napa Valley was largely defined by rich and concentrated fruit due to very low yields. The
unseasonably cool weather in the spring, just as the grape flowers were in full bloom, led to decreased berry set. This resulted in great depth of flavor in the fruit on the vine.
