- Napa Valley AVA, Kalifornien, USA
The grapes come from the finest sections of selected vineyards in Napa Valley; specific sites and soils for this vintage have not been published. The wine matured for 13 months in French oak, 58 % of it in new casks. It shows ripe cassis and blackberry aromas, complemented by black plum, fennel, liquorice, dark chocolate, sandalwood and toasted notes. The body is powerful and balanced, with integrated acidity; the finish is long, with soft-feeling, chalky tannins. Like every bottle, the 2021 bottling bears a Liberty-Dime coin as a distinctive identifying feature.
