Winemaker
Joe Harden
The 2023 vintage was nothing short of exceptional. Ideal weather and a long, steady ripening period delivered fruit in impeccable balance.
A replenishing winter and spring set the stage for healthy vines. Throughout the summer, mild and steady temperatures supported slow ripening and superb phenolic development. Harvest began in late September and concluded in mid-October, resulting in fruit with rich color, concentrated flavor, and excellent structural balance.

Captivating boldness and structure from the soils of Diamond Mountain.
Diamond Mountain's high elevation, paired with the presence of the Diamond Creek River that allows cool air to brush against the hillside, wines from these volcanic and obsidian soils possess a lush ripeness, structured tannings, and bright acidity.
Harvested from Mina Vineyard
The pedigreed Mina Vineyard is nestled within the Mayacamas Mountain Range, running along the western side of Napa Valley. It’s renowned for grapes characterized by bold tannins, deep color, and concentration of ripe blackberry and black cherry notes enhanced by a subtle minerality derived from the volcanic soils. The well-structured tannins contribute to the richness and age-worthiness.
