The Napa Valley region enjoyed a stunning, near picture-perfect 2018 growing season including good winter rains, mild spring weather and steady temperatures throughout that allowed for even flowering and bud break. These ideal growing conditions were followed by a cool, even and slow-paced harvest which allowed the winery to vinify wines at a gentle pace. The resulting 2018 wines are of very high quality with plenty of concentrated flavors, color and excellent acidity.

Napa Valley

Vineyards

This Reserve Malbec is sourced from a combination of estate vineyards in Rutherford as well as warmer Calistoga vineyards in the north and a small portion of mountain fruit from higher elevation vineyards in Napa Valley. We specifically selected premier vineyard blocks situated on well-draining soils within Napa Valley, promoting smaller berry size and higher skin-to-juice ratio, crafting a superior quality wine.
