Ripe red fruit character mingles with plum, currant and raspberry notes. Barrel spices come across rather exotically, centering on cardamom, vanilla and tobacco leaf. Yountville District offers distinctly chalky tannins that aid in its ageability. Pair with an equally textured meal, such as butter-based herb-crusted steak, to achieve perfect balance.

Our Yountville Ranch Vineyard stole my heart years ago. How can anyone be surprised that grapes have been planted in this location for 150 years?
