Idlewright 2016 Opulent Red Napa Valley, California

Description

Our traditional blend of classic Bordeaux varietals garnered 92 points at the 2020 Sunset Magazine Wine Competition, one of the few annual competitions held thus far this year. Crafted from varietals which thrive in the well-drained, gravelly soils of the Napa Valley, arguably the most prestigious new world wine-growing region. In order to best express the opulence and texture of the fruit, it spent 3 weeks on skins before being gently pressed to French oak when it matured for 18 months before bottling.
