Wine Details & Vintage Notes
There was no 2020 vintage due to the apocalyptic fires and so the 2021 has been a long time coming. An extremely small crop, dryness and zero heat spikes combined with super small, concentrated berries and a super long ripening season resulted in the vintage being hailed as one of the TRULY great ones.
Vineyard Notes
Sourced from small, family vineyards, (in some cases for 3-4 generations) that are farmed with great care and attention. These vineyards (some are 80+ years old) have been brought together, actually woven together, so the magical fruit could at last become Fortunate Son.
Composition
56% Merlot; 34% Cabernet Sauvignon; 10% Petite Sirah A Napa Valley red blend composed of Cabernet Sauvignon , Merlot, and a very small fraction of Petite Sirah.
Cooperage
Aged for 33 months in 100% new French oak. We only use the finest French oak barrique with stave wood that is hand-selected for ultra-tight grain, then air dried for three years before being made into barrels.
Appellation
Napa Valley
