Napanook Napa Red

”TASTING NOTES The 2012 Napanook is a clear expression of an exceptional vintage. Pure aromas of fresh strawberry caramel and minty sage fill the nose. Vigorous and rich with firm yet integrated tannins the wine offers earthy complexity dark cocoa and roasted almonds on a long lingering finish. VINTAGE SUMMARY 2012 enjoyed a perfect growing season. Plentiful rainfall in March and April lessened winter drought concerns and a mild spring with few temperature fluctuations contributed to an even budbreak and a healthy bloom. Summer temperatures were consistently warm without excessive heat spikes which provided conditions for slow homogenous maturation of fruit exhibiting great character and richness.” – Dominus
