Alpha Omega Description
ERA, our flagship wine, represents the highest level of dedication to handcrafting a wine which serves as the confluence of Old World traditions and New World techniques. Our winemakers create a wine which highlights the exceptional diversity of Napa Valley terroir.
A blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon ranging from mountain to valley floor, ERA is barrel-fermented and not fined. Our unique style of blending Cabernet Sauvignons from various terroirs presents a wine with the perfect balance of depth, intensity and elegance. “For ERA 2019, we incorporated a more diverse range of varieties to create the darkest and richest ERA to date. The Petit Verdot and Malbec brought out the density and rich color, and the Cabernet Franc brought a beautiful aromatic quality to our flagship wine.”
Jeb Dunnuck: 97 Points
The flagship 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon ERA checks in as 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, and the rest Malbec that spent 20 months in 70% new French oak. A gorgeously pure nose of cassis, blueberries, violets, tobacco, and sandalwood give way to a perfectly balanced, full-bodied, layered 2019 that has great tannins, ample mid-palate depth, and a great, great finish. This classic Napa Valley Cabernet does everything right and never puts a foot wrong, showing fabulous complexity, perfect balance, solid structure, and the class to evolve for 30 years or more.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
A bold, beautiful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, this is a serious, structured and complex wine. Mostly barrel-fermented and given 20 months in mostly new oak, it is rich, velvety and earth, with hints of dried herb, sage, cedar and tobacco that build around a core of black cherry and plum. Grippy, it will do well in the cellar; enjoy best 2029-2039.
