A blend of Renteria’s prime vineyards from across Napa. Unfined and unfiltered, the powerful red comes from Napa’s most exclusive appellations Mt Veeder, Calistoga, and St. Helena.
The son of Nils Venge, the first American to score a perfect 100 from Robert Parker and continues to hold the strong family name with his gems. - 98 pts, Alex Casella, WSET Advanced - 4.5/5.0, Socially Rated Grapes: 27% Merlot, 27% Syrah, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Petite Sirah, 5% Petite Verdot Cooperage: 18 months in 50% New French Oak
98 pts, Alex Casella, WSET Advanced
"A stunning purple color meets a nose of black raspberry, black plum, ripe blueberries, dark chocolate, green herbs and forest floor. Lots of dusty red, black and blue fruit mingle on the palate. This has bold fruits and grape varietals thrive together. Moderate delineation, but plenty of freshness and well-balanced acidity to match an array of cuisine. While the tannin structure is mildly firm they have developed enough to imbibe now. Cellar for next 3-5 years and pair with rustic French or California Cuisine. Terrific value. Case Buy Indeed."
