LIBRARY - Jimmy D's Red Blend Napa Valley 2016
Raspberry, black cherry, violet and spice aromas continue on the palate with fruit-forward flavors and a round middle that is punctuated by plum. The soft structure gears this finely tuned wine to a nutty, spicy finish. A very unique blend that suits many cuisines.

Vintage Notes
2015 is the vintage in which drought was on everyone’s mind. Rainfall the previous vintages was minimal at best and 2015 was very dry for most of the State. However, thanks to some early season rains, Napa Valley received 75% of normal rainfall. Thanks also to cool temperatures during the growing season the demand for water was kept to a minimum. These cool temperatures also contributed to uneven fruit set which resulted in much lower than average yields. Sugar accumulation was also slightly ahead of flavor development and so we harvested most varieties with more sugar than in the previous vintages. Small vintages typically result in more concentrated wines and 2015 is no exception. We just have much less of it in 2015.
Winemaker's Notes
Four day cold maceration followed by 15 days of fermentation. Daily pumpovers during active fermentation at 88°F. 21 days total vat time followed by malolactic fermentation in barrel. Aged for 18 months in 100% French oak barrels. Blend composition is predominantly Petit Verdot this vintage.
