750mL

Our 2020 Madame de Latour Red Blend makes a striking first impression with its dark amethyst hue. The nose is powerful and layered, showcasing the influence of cooler-climate sourcing with the Coombsville fruit imparting notes of dark cherry and cassis alongside a present minerality and grippy tannins. There is a lifted floral note with fresh character, beautiful persistence intertwined with rounded plushness, and a seamless integration of barrel nuances. The wine exudes a sense of depth, finishing with mouthwatering acidity and savory dark plum flavors, delivering a velvety smooth texture that envelops the senses. This wine possesses remarkable aging potential — cellar it for up to 25 years, until 2048.

Winemaking

After hand harvesting, the grapes were immediately delivered to the winery where they were destemmed and cold soaked for 7 days to gently ease color and flavor. During the roughly 12-day fermentation, timely pump overs kept the skins in contact with the juice for excellent flavor and tannin extraction. The wine spent 22 months in French oak barrels giving the final wine well-integrated tannins and beautiful toasty barrel notes.

Vintage

It was a warm, dry winter and the rain and cooler weather didn’t arrive until the end of March. While the mild spring provided a great early start, summer brought very cool mornings and very warm days. The harvest was smaller, and one of the most challenging in history, but our always optimistic team was able to create wines of high quality, with concentrated flavors and excellent acidity, from this unprecedented vintage.

Vineyard

Sitting in the southeastern corner of the Napa Valley, we sourced the Cabernet Sauvignon from the highly acclaimed Meteor Vineyard in the Coombsville AVA. The cool climate growing region is home to gravelly loam and well-draining rocky volcanic soils which produce wines with complex floral and earth qualities, in addition to focused acidity and commanding tannins. As a note of juxtaposition, BV Ranch No. 10 Malbec was added to this unique blend to provide plushness and complexity to the wine. This Rutherford ranch enjoys optimal sun exposure and experiences cooling influences from regular morning fog. The long, even growing season produces full-bodied, concentrated wines that highlight the appellation’s signature Rutherford Dust flavor profile.
