CHRIS HAMILTON | NAPA RED Blend
Bordeaux-style Napa blend from the valley's first vineyard site, cassis, tobacco, and velvet tannins.
Chris Hamilton Napa Red is a Bordeaux-style blend sourced from Napa Valley's historic first vineyard site, a provenance that speaks to both the wine's terroir and its pedigree. The blend draws on the classic Napa appellations, where alluvial valley soils and the region's characteristic warm days and cool nights produce Cabernet of depth, structure, and remarkable aromatic complexity.
The wine offers a refined, Bordeaux-influenced personality: cassis, tobacco leaf, dried herbs, and subtle cedar on the nose, with a full, velvety palate, polished tannins, and a long finish with lingering dark fruit and mocha. This is not a fruit-bomb Napa Cab, it is a wine of restraint and elegance, built for the table and for those who appreciate a more classical California red.
From the ground where Napa Valley's story began. Chris Hamilton is a bottle worth exploring.
