Producer notes: "This organically farmed and certified vineyard is located west of the city of Napa as you climb into the Mt. Veeder district. Here, the vines cover a southwest slope at 515 feet. Cooler than the up valley sites, this vineyard is closest to San Pablo Bay. Like the others, this wine is very dark purple in color. Fragrant berry fruit and multiple spice-like aromas in the nose. A silky, rich but soft tannin structure in the mouth with loads of violets, berries, cassis and spice. 200 cases produced."

17/20 points Gault & Millau: "The top 'vin jaunes' (yellow wines) are among the greatest wines in the world--as evidenced by this incredibly complex and rich wine, which displays aromas and flavors of nuts, curry, and notes of marc. The mouthfeel is worthy of a great Burgundy. Nose: fruity, spicy. Mouth: powerful white, creamy. Food Accompaniments: white meat (chicken, veal, sweetbreads), spicy Asian cuisine (curry, Thai, Indian); cheeses with refined and powerful aromas, hard cheeses. Alcohol 15%."
Produced only in exceptional vintages, this Savagnin wine is aged in old oak barrels for at least 6 years without any topping up to replace the portion of wine that evaporates. A thin later of yeast called 'voile' forms on the wine's surface similar to flor in the making of fino sherries. The result is a dry wine that ages well, rich in alcohol, very spicy and very aromatic.
