“From the legendary Martha’s Vineyards at the base of the Mayacamas in Western Oakville near To Kalon. There’s a special quality in the air around Martha’s Vineyard because of the towering Eucalyptus trees along the eastern parameter where the Martha’s Vineyard clone takes on some of those minty notes. Bay laurel freshness leads from the glass, and the palate showcases full development of flavour with crunchy red berry fruit, spice, menthol, eucalyptus, and a foundation of ultra fine tannins and firm spine of acidity. The wine is just gorgeous. Flavour-packed and expressive, it is likely going to outlive most of us. It is a wine you can drink 90 to 100 years from now, mark my words. You can enjoy it now for its mineral intensity, its acid freshness, and pure fruit flavours, but it’s a wine you should have with a meal if you attempt to drink it anytime before 2050 (after that, maybe just enjoy it on its own).” – Jonathan Cristaldi

“A second consecutive year of dry weather lent itself to an incredible vintage in Napa Valley. Harvest started early for our 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, and we immediately noticed fruit with an intensity of concentration and flavor. Low yields produced a wine with a distinct expression of Oakville terroir and brilliant acidity, and all of this vineyard’s signature crème de cassis fruit, blueberries, mint, and spice box. It will be very long-lived.” – Antonio Galloni
