It’s not uncommon to see our winemaker Kim Nicholls rocking her iconic blue boots and kicking around new ideas. This unique “Blue Boots” bottling celebrates Kim’s creative spirit; always a blend from one singular Napa Valley AVA but never the same year to year. For the 2019 Yountville blend, a nose of raspberry, cocoa powder and nutmeg jive with wild blackberry, anise flavors and dense tannins.

Yountville Ranch’s benchland site in the heart of Napa Valley is such an ideal location for Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot it’s hard to pick a favorite. With this iconic Yountville Red Blend, we let them both shine in the glass.
