Description

 

By selecting small lots of only the finest fruit from premiere Napa Valley vineyards, using specially selected barrels, and meticulously blending until we achieve perfection is the manner in which we create Bucephalus.

The 2011 vintage had moments of exceptional and shining quality. The winter and early spring rains postponed bloom by several weeks allowing for a long, cool growing season. Just prior to the peak of our Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Zinfandel harvest, a strong warming period ensued. This provided just enough heat to push the grapes to nearly perfect sugar levels. The long, cool growing season produced red wines with brilliant color, exceptional complexity and elegant, plush fruit flavors.

Tasting Notes

 

EXAMPLE CONTENT: The North Coast appellation is a prestigious wine growing region on the California coast most famously known for its cool coastal breezes, refreshing fog and crisp mountain air. Our Black Stallion 2023 Sauvignon Blanc opens with aromas of lemongrass, honeysuckle and mango followed by robust flavors of tropical fruit, lemon, lime, and a hint of jasmine. The wine’s bright acidity and light to medium body lead to a long, juicy finish.
