Item Description
The St. Helena estate vineyards are comprised of 3 main vineyards, Gretch, McCarthy and Wheeler Farms, which are located just north of the winery and were purchased back in 1985 by the Raymond family. These vineyards are located on gravelly alluvial fan soil with excellent drainage, an essential component in high quality fruit development. The vineyards are planted with a vertical shoot positioning trellis system and vines are spaced eight feet apart with eight feet between rows. The vines are also less vigorous in the area of the Napa Valley, producing smaller berries and lower yields, for more concentrated, intense wines with good
tannin structure. This wine is produced to showcase the terroir and distinct flavor characteristics of these vineyards.
Aroma:
Aromas of summer fruits picked right at the peak of flavor coupled with the pleasant aromas of black tea, cranberries and a warm graham cracker crust permeate the glass with every swirl.
Palate:
In mouth, the wine has a pleasingly silky entry and weight as the taste of fresh strawberry jam fills your palate, transitioning to a well-structured, lengthy finish. This luscious, rich wine pairs well with rosemary and garlic crusted pork tenderloin, Moroccan lamb with couscous, or baked rigatoni with a spicy sausage sauce.
Item Special Note
Wine cannot be shipped - winning bidder must pick up wine in person in San Rafael, CA.
