Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is a 2022 Napa Valley red blend crafted by Jayson Woodbridge, the winemaker behind Hundred Acre, and sourced from heritage vineyards. In the glass it shows deep ruby with garnet hues, then opens into blueberry, cassis, black raspberry and Italian plum, lifted by violets, cedar and a touch of baking spice. The medium-bodied palate is velvety and lush. Ripe black and blue fruit weaves through dark chocolate, espresso and subtle vanilla, held together by fine, well-integrated tannins and a backbone of oak. The finish runs long, with blackberry compote, toasted oak and a hint of earthy minerality. It suits the collector who wants a Napa bottle to lay down, since its structure is built to evolve over the next 15 to 20 years. It is also approachable enough to open tonight at a celebratory dinner. We carry it because each vintage is made in extremely limited quantities and bottled and labeled by hand, and it delivers a genuine balance of power and polish.

Grilled ribeye with herb butter — The wine's fine tannins and oak backbone stand up to rich, charred beef while its dark fruit adds lift.
Dark chocolate and espresso torte — The dark chocolate, espresso and vanilla notes on the palate echo the dessert's bittersweet depth.
Romantic evening at home — Its velvety texture and violet-scented bouquet make for a slow, reflective glass shared over good conversation.
