I remember this site as one of the first orchards I removed with my father. We had an Allis Chamlers tractor I loved to work on at 9 years old. Originally planted by my father in 1968, this Rutherford site is surrounded by a pedigree of Napa Valley Cabernet vineyards. Farmed organically, we pick this small site several times each year, several weeks apart to evaluate the flavor profile difference after additional “hang time.”
Another very showy year for the Wykoff Vineyard. Dark, ripe fruit plus smokey aromas fill the nose. Blueberry jam, spice and vanilla cream creates a sweet fruit flavor although there is no residual sugar. Big tannins for a valley floor vineyard are wrapped around the clean, ripe fruit flavors and the Rutherford Dust add a cocoa character.
