ASHES & DIAMONDS WINES

These wines from Napa Valley are made utilizing old-school farming and winemaking with minimal intervention that beautifully showcases the terroir of the region. A blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc from two vineyards in Napa Valley, the Blanc is fully ripe and textured, yet bright, zesty, and age-worthy. The Cabernet Franc is a naturally restrained, balanced wine with subtle power and aromatic finesse that comes from the volcanic, clay and sandy loam soils of select vineyards in Napa Valley’s cooler south side. The Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Hen Vineyard) has poise and impressive length with silky, weightless tannins that are the hallmark of this benchland site. The Grand Vin is a wine of finesse and elegance that maintains fresh red and blue fruit flavors with secondary characteristics of spice and herbal tones. The blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc comes from 3O-year-old vines grown in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. Suggested retail is $45 for the Blanc; $75 for the Cabernet Franc; $85 for the Cabernet Sauvignon; and $95 for the Grand Vin. AVAILABLE FROM Baystate Wine & Spirits.
