Wine Story

A story of two halves.

Inspired by a relationship once whole, but now a beautiful memory, "Torn Again" is a deeply personal wine. It’s for those who understand that some stories are too good to be contained in a single chapter, they must be torn apart to be fully appreciated. This wine captures the bittersweet essence of what was, offering a full-bodied journey through every moment, both perfect and painful. It's a statement for anyone who has ever been caught between what was and what could have been.

This unique blend showcases the diversity of Napa Valley fruit. It's led by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from the valley floor, which contributes a rich, lush character. This valley-floor profile is accented by mountain-top fruit, which adds structure and complexity. The blend is rounded out by Petit Verdot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah, creating a wine that is a true expression of the southern half of Napa Valley with a whisper of St. Helena.

To craft this classic Napa Valley wine, the varietals underwent a traditional production process. The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon the backbone of the blend were co-fermented to ensure a seamless integration of their characteristics. The grapes then underwent a period of extended skin contact, from 30 to 35 days, to fully develop a deep, rich color and extract the necessary character from the fruit. The wine was then aged for two full years in French oak barrels. This careful, extended barrel aging allowed the blend to develop complexity, soften its tannins, and express the classic style of a well-made Napa Valley wine. The final result is a wine with a well-integrated, elegant profile that honors the traditions of the region.

This is a complex and elegant blend with a story to tell. On the nose, you'll find aromas of deep black cherry, ripe plum, and subtle hints of dried herb and tobacco. The first sip reveals a full-bodied wine with a rich, velvety texture. The palate is a harmonious balance of dark fruit, savory spice, and an earthy minerality that adds a beautiful depth. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, leading to a long and graceful finish. This wine is exceptionally food-friendly, pairing effortlessly with rich, savory dishes like braised short ribs or grilled lamb.

"Torn Again" is a uniquely complex wine that captures the bittersweet essence of a story with two halves. The wine's rich, generous core is anchored by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, evoking the good times, while a structured layer of Petit Verdot and Syrah adds complexity, a nod to the parts of the story that can't be put back together. Much like a complicated relationship, each sip reveals a new layer, with unexpected depth and a beautiful tension between its fruit and savory notes. This is a wine that feels both familiar and unpredictable and is the perfect companion for anyone who knows a beautiful thing when they taste it, even when it's broken.
