About The Vineyard
“We’re excited to bring you our Napa Valley Selection wines. We support local independent grape growers who echo our farming philosophies and hands-on approach in the vineyard. Farming and winemaking is a handshake between the land and winery, vine and bottle. At the end of the day, we make wine to share and enjoy with you, our friends and family one glass at a time.” – Christi Coors Ficeli, Vintner
Winemaker Notes
2018 was a perfect vintage from a weather standpoint. From May to August, temperatures in Napa were cooler than usual, but the fruit was exposed to plenty of sunshine, ripening the grapes slowly but fully. This helped gain more concentration of fruit character in the wine during fermentation. You can expect to see wines that are acidic, bright, and fresh, with promising aging potential.
