• Never ending finish; elegant and youthful

Super secret Heritage library wine release. Proprietary Bordeaux blend from acclaimed winemaker Celia Welch. An intense reflection of Oakville terroir, single vineyard estate wines.

WINEMAKER: Legendary Celia Welch

WHAT WE TASTED: Bright cherry in spades. Mocha, dark chocolate notes, huckleberry, sweet earth and cardamom. Youthful. As one would expect from a master winemaker of this caliber. Considered one of the best Napa Valley vintage year as well. Drinking perfectly.

AVA DESIGNATED: Oakville, Napa Valley

 WHAT WE PAIRED:

• Absolutely nothing. This baby deserves undivided attention!
• Grilled Ribeye, garlic-buttermilk mashed potatoes
• Chateaubriand, sauce bearnaise, potatoes Anna

PERSONALITY: The complexity of the vineyard shines through a progression of dark fruit, cherry, dusty cocoa, cool mint and more - what this Oakville estate is known for. Celia's extraordinary winemaking skills are on display. This vineyard is worthy of her talents.

TECHNICAL:

• Aged 20 months in 70% new French Oak
• Each year of the Blend will have a distinct varietal percentage.
