Unlike the majority of our wines that are single-vineyard, this wine is a blend of choice lots from several of our prime estate vineyards and varies year to year. In 2007 we hand selected barrels of Cabernet from our Cloud’s Nest Vineyard on Mt. Veeder and our Haystack Vineyard on Atlas Peak; Merlot from our Vista Montone Vineyard in Southern Napa; and Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc from our Central Park West Vineyard in St. Helena.
“This is my favorite wine to make because, like having all the crayons in the box, it lets me paint the prettiest picture. Having an incredible arsenal of vineyards at my disposal enables me to make a wine with layers and layers of aromas and flavors. Cabernet is the backbone, Merlot contributes to the mid-palate and the aromatics, Petit Verdot adds color and floral aromatics, and Cabernet Franc elongates the finish.” —Mario Monticelli
