2012 Poetry is composed of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. Sourced from our estate Poetry Vineyard in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, the grapes were hand-picked in the cool darkness of night, then subjected to a three-tiered sorting process, including an optical sorter. After extended maceration of up to six weeks, the wine was aged for 18 months in new French oak. 762 cases were made.

Opened this up once we found out everyone was safe from the storm. It is wonderful now and shows it will be even better in the years to come. Thoughts and prayers go out to all the were effected by the Hurricane Matthew and to all of those who lost love ones especially those in Haiti.

It kept getting better as it breathed. Ripe red raspberries and plums with notes of allspice and coconut.
