Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2016 Cloud’s Nest Petit Verdot is a powerful
wine, packed with complex aromas of warm plum,
spring flowers and mint, and flavors of blackberry,
plum and black pepper. Its dense, firm structure
leads into a pleasingly lengthy finish.
Vineyard Notes
High above the Napa Valley floor in the Mayacamas Mountains, our Cloud’s Nest Vineyard embodies the greatness of the Mt. Veeder appellation. This high altitude vineyard is incredibly steep with gravelly soil, and like all our vineyards, must be patiently farmed by hand. Its cool, eastern exposure allows for extended hang time, which imbues the grapes with greater complexity and character.
