| Description: | Tasting NOTES\r\nThe color is intense and beautiful, almost black with purple, reddish hues. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, piecrust, spice, and mint mingle and leap from the glass. The palate is full and concentrated with similar aromas but also featuring black currant and sweet red cherry with the mild presence of oak, seamlessly integrated. Signature finely structured tannins and a balanced acidity give way to a long finish which continues to build after that last sip.\r\nVINEYARDS - The fruit for this wine comes from vineyards in the St. Helena, Calistoga, Oakville, Stags Leap District, and Atlas\r\nWINEGROWING - Heavy rains in March and April replenished reservoirs and led to healthy vine growth which we managed through leafing and cluster thinning. Weather during the summer and fall was moderate.\r\nSustainable farming practices throughout the growing season were tailored to each block with the assistance of aerial\r\nWINEMAKING - The grapes were carefully destemmed and optically sorted to ensure only perfect fruit made it into the wine. A cold soak extracted color and flavor before a combination of tank and barrel fermentation was used to a provide richer, more textured palate. The wine was gently basket pressed before being racked to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging.\r\nFood Pairings - Braised Short Ribs, Lasagna Bolognese, and Pan Roasted Rack of Lamb.\r\nAbout Rombauer Winery\r\nAbout Rombauer Vineyard\r\nWhen founders Koerner and Joan Rombauer moved their two children, two horses and five dogs to Napa Valley in 1972, they arrived armed with an appreciation for the intimate relationship between food and wine. Their appreciation stemmed from Koerner\u2019s great aunt Irma Rombauer having authored internationally renowned cookbook the Joy of Cooking and his ancestors originating from the winegrowing region of Rheingau, Germany, where wine is considered an essential complement to a meal.\r\nAppreciation bred passion, and Rombauer Vineyards was established in 1980.\u00a0 Forty years later, the winery remains owned by second- and third-generation members of the family. |
