The Wines

Kitoko Vineyard leaps from the glass with notes of violet, chocolate-covered cherries, crème de cassis, stewed plums, and boysenberries, plus suggestions of grilled meats, hoisin, and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with black fruit preserves and spicy sparks, framed by plush tannins and bags of freshness, finishing long and earthy. It’s a structured, noble bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon that will age 15-20 years effortlessly

Description  Witha comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of wild blueberries, black raspberries and crushed black currants plus suggestions of kirsch, chocolate box, herbal notes and spice cake. The soft, plush, juicy-fruited palate offers tons of black fruit layers with a racy line and red berry lift on the finish.  58.3% of this wine comes from earlier picks from the Kitoko Vineyard. The remaining 41.7% of the wine comes from the Upstream vineyard in Coombsville.                   

Pawa displays alluring scents of Black Forest cake, black currant cordial and blueberry compote, violet with hints of Indian spies, menthol, and espresso. The full-bodied palate is jam-packed with expressive black fruit preserves, framed by velvety tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long, and layered. 50% of this wine comes from earlier picks from the Kitoko Vineyard. The remaining 50% of the wine comes from the best barrels of Didier’s “Eagle’s Nest” Vineyard, in between Monticello Road and Milliken Creek in Napa.
