WINEMAKER'S NOTES
The 2019 Bucephalus was crafted using some of the best grapes found in the Napa Valley. Most of fruit for the 2019 Bucephalus was harvested from Atlas Peak and Diamond Mountain. The mountain AVAs are the ideal growing environment for producing fruit with huge concentration and immense depth. We blended a small portion of Syrah, Petit Verdot & Malbec into the Bucephalus to help knit the blend together. The Syrah brings a rich elixir quality to the wine. Together, these vineyard blocks create a powerful and well-structured wine.
