Winemaker Joseph J. Wagner is a 4th generation winemaker from a family with farming and winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since 1906. Deep Ruby (darkest Pinot almost looks like a Cab) with aromas of ripe berries and spice notes. The palate shows rich black fruits, blackberries, plums and black cherries, vanilla spice, cedar and cacao. Rich soft tannins, firm acidity on lingering finish ending with mineral tones. Nice!

Im going to provide little comment in this regard, as this wine is a model of consistency. Super-sweet and jammy. Big round maraschino cherries and maple syrup. Excellent structure and poise on the palette, although the tannins are already fully integrated, which does not bode well for its aging potential.
