Had ‘13 & ‘14 and thought ‘14 has a better and bolder style. Founded by Corley family in 1970 and now produces 15,000+ cases of Napa Valley wines. Aged for 22 months in French oak (35% new), aromas of red fruits and spice. On the palate this full-bodied wine shows flavors of strawberry and red plum with some espresso and caramel notes. Lingering finish, soft fine tannins ending with notes of oak and sweet spice. ‘14 will develop nicely in the bottle, but it’s good now.

Strawberry snow cone nose that evolves into cherries in the winter forest. Big bold thoughtfully sun-ripened berries. Solid herbal full mouthfeel across the finish. Perfect Napa Pinot.
