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.
We created the 2012 Bucephalus using some of the best grapes found in the Napa Valley. We harvest from vineyards at high elevations in the mountain AVA’s of Diamond Mountain, Mount Veeder and Atlas Peak. These mountainous AVA’s are the ideal growing environment for producing wines with huge concentration and immense depth. Atlas Peak’s rocky, volcanic soils are dry and free-draining which causes grapevines to focus on producing concentrated and flavorful wines. We blended a small portion of Syrah into the Bucephalus to help knit the blend together. The Syrah comes from the Coombsville AVA, and brings an intoxicating elixir quality to the wine. Together, these vineyard blocks create a powerful and well-structured wine.
