VINTAGE NOTES
N a p a V a l l e y R e d W i n e
2018The Oracle
Our flagship wine, a full-bodied, red blend, grants a nod toward
elegance. This Bordeaux-style blend is silky, reserved and supremely
balanced.
Lush aromatics of raspberry and dark cherry with a hint of eucalyptus,
The Oracle is decadent, but with finesse. Earthiness and layers of
dried flowers and cocoa integrate harmoniously into a finely balanced
marriage between tannin and acid, providing the structure that ensures,
like all impeccable beauties, this wine is sure to age gracefully.
This near perfect growing season began in late February. Temperatures
remained consistent and warm throughout the growing and ripening
season without significant heat spikes, enabling a longer-than-usual
harvest. Quantity and quality were both abundant in 2018, with many
vineyards producing yields of up to 40% more than recent averages.
