Producer notes: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10%Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec. The 2023 "The Dude" is a meticulously assembled blend of fruit drawn from prestigious Napa Valley appellations: Calistoga, Rutherford, and Howell Mountain. The wine was refined for 16 months, utilizing 40% new oak to elegantly frame the fruit while allowing the terroir to shine. Deeply fragrant and multidimensional, this wine reveals lifted aromas of wild boysenberry, dark
cherry liqueur, and macerated black fig, with intriguing savory tones of crushed pencil shavings, dried sage, and bittersweet cocoa emerging beneath the primary fruit. On the palate, it is broad and opulent, presenting a seamless, plush texture where concentrated flavors of black raspberry preserve and spiced plum cascade alongside warm notes of star anise and toasted nutmeg. Finely grained, polished tannins while a vibrant, energetic acidity lifts the finish to ensure exceptional length and focus.
