USA, California, Napa Valley, Spring Mountain District
From the La Perla and Miravalle vineyards, 87% Sauvignon Blanc and 13% Sémillon, raised in neutral French oak for four months with bâtonnage every week, 920 cases produced. Ripe and soft style, the Sémillon adds weight and mouthfeel, white peach, pear, hint of toast, rich yet fresh, nice hint of grassiness, lovely length.
USA, California, Napa Valley, Spring Mountain District
A blend of 78% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, raised for 22 months in 100% new French oak (Taransaud, Saury, Quintessence, Le Grand). Wonderfully floral (violet), perfumed, minty, hint of tar, bright and complex fruits (blackberries, strawberry) elegant for its considerable weight, transparent, satiny texture, ripe phenolics, lovely flavours and length. A wine with real style and individuality. Drinking very well now, should easily last for another 5-7 years.
