Tasting Notes: |
Cabernet Sauvignon is king in the Napa Valley. This very limited production wine is made primarily from prime fruit grown by one of the most tenured grape growers in the Napa Valley. It is an intense and rich wine with great depth that shows balance and length. Style Asia Award Silver |

Tasting Notes: |
This Sangiovese is an homage to their Italian heritage from which both come. This first vintage is already a Gold Medal winner in its 1st competition just prior to release. Balanced and bright with the intensity, density and character more common in Italian Brunellos. Ideal with a wide range of cuisine. |
