| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nDeep, dark shiny oil with touches of magenta and mashed strawberry. Beautiful flowery nose of rose petals, lavender and pencil shaving with black pepper, blackberry and blueberry, lingering on roast beef and paprika. Dense entrance evolving on a layered mid-palate, lingering on fresh granular tannins with touches of dark fruit and violet.\r\nDecanter 97 Points \r\nJeb Dunnuck 94 Points \r\nJames Suckling 93 Points\r\nAbout Axr Winery\r\nThe Axr dream began with four friends sitting around a table sharing, dreaming, laughing, and occasionally sipping! The room was filled with an intense passion for wine and a good intention to be true to themselves and the history of Napa Valley: this is where Axr was born. By utilizing modern and innovative techniques in the cellar, we extract the unique soul of Napa Valley\u2019s soils into wines enjoyable now, or many years to come.\r\nThe Fab 4, as we call them, are our three founders: Kelly Trevethan, Mark Schratz and Don Van Laeken, as well as our winemaker, Jean Hoefliger. \u00a0This group of unassuming romantics believes in paying homage to the pioneers who had the vision, planted the vines, and grew the Napa Valley lifestyle. \u00a0Our team is looking forward to engaging with new people, telling a joke or two, and sharing great wine!\r\n\r\nIf only these vines could talk, they would tell you stories of the old Napa Valley. The history of our estate is compounded in layers; rooted in historic tales of fierce Native American hunting grounds, wild west pioneers and the first woman vintner of California in 1886. It has changed hands over the course of 134 years to become a brewery, restaurant, inn, winery and saloon. Tales of love, lust, heartbreak, murders and great fortune create an imaginative backdrop to our present-day vision of Axr. Today, we are a winery\u00a0that pays homage to its history and blazes the trail of excitement and innovation in Napa Valley as the pioneers before us did.\r\n\r\n\r\nWe want to be reminded every day to live fully and to leave a lasting impression on our layer of history. Named after the AxR rootstock (Aramond x Rupestris) that was so prominent in building the modern California wine industry, AxR#1 eventually succumbed to Phylloxera and most of California wine country was left as a blank canvas. Vintners now had a chance to replant and to rethink the entire structure of the vineyards; attention was paid to the terroir and unique varietals were researched. This was truly a turning point in the wine industry as we know it. Axr invites you to go on a journey through the past, present and future of Napa Valley. |
