Yields are 3-4 tons/acre (40-54 hl/ha). 16 months in French and Eastern European oak, 27% new. Calistoga is like mountain vineyards – colder at night. Bottled April 2016, released 1 March 2017. 13,000–15,000 cases.
Very nice claret! Fresh and lively. I’d hate to have this blind! Not at all typical Napa Valley. Appetising.
