    Ratcheting up the quality level, the 2016 Secret Blend Red Wine checks in as 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot that saw an extended maceration and 20 months in 49% new French oak. Sourced from five sites in St. Helena and Rutherford, this beauty offers a sensational perfume of cassis, toasted spice, lavender, and sandalwood. With terrific complexity, full-bodied richness, and a seamless, elegant texture, it can be drunk today or cellared for 10-15 years.

    Blended of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc and 11% Petit Verdot aged 20 months in 49% new French oak, the very deep purple-black colored 2016 Secret Blend gives up a vivacious nose of crushed blackberries, blackcurrants and black plums with hints of spice box, tilled soil, tobacco and new leather. Full-bodied, firm and grainy with lovely vibrancy, it gives loads of crunchy black fruits and a minty kick to the finish.

Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.

Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
