2013 Napa Valley El Llano Red Wine 1.5L

Vineyard Notes
2013 proved to be an excellent year in Napa Valley. It was slightly warmer than 2012, resulting in an overall earlier growing season. Lower than normal rainfall paired with moderate spring weather brought early bud break and bloom. Sunny skies throughout the summer months led to early veraison and harvest. Warm daytime temperatures followed by cool nights prior to harvest produced evenly ripened fruit with ideal hang time.
Production Notes
The key to this blend is allowing the grapes to become harmonious. Twenty months of aging is the perfect amount of time to create an approachable, fresh, and fruit-forward wine.
Tasting Notes
Our 2013 El Llano exhibits a bouquet of dark cherry, violet, rich leather, and toasted vanilla which leads into a surprisingly silky mouthfeel. Additional flavors of fig, plum, and cinnamon convey richness. The velvety palate with well-rounded tannins carries through an elegant and long finish.
Food Pairing Notes
This is the kind of wine that makes you want to snuggle up next to a fire for a romantic dinner of juicy steak, cheesy gnocchi, and a chocolate tart for dessert.
Silky tannin and bright acidity in this wine, indicate great promise for long-term aging and versatility with many foods. Bold, rich and velvety make this balanced wine beautiful!
