Napa Valley
Proprietary Red Wine
| 98 Points "Spicy red and black fruits, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and savory flower notes all emerge from the 2023 Red Wine... It's ripe and concentrated, with a deep, layered mid-palate, velvety tannins, and a gorgeous finish. It's another sensational wine from winemaker Chris Carpenter that will keep for 30 years. There are 370 cases produced. Drink 2030-2055." Jeb Dunnuck JebDunnuck.com, December 2025 |
