2020 Chloe's Blend
2020 Chloe's Blend
Nils's popular blend, sourced from our own Oakville District of Napa Valley. Named in honor of our best winery pooch, Chloe, who would happily greets our guests, prior to her retirement in the Sierras. Chloe was born on July 23, 2012 in Lake County, California about 30 miles from her current home. Chloe’s mother was a Malamute, owned by long-time friends of Nils, and her father was an Australian shepherd who jumped the fence one day: a nice blend, inspiring Nils to bring her on board. Nils gave Chloe lifetime Vineyard Dog status, one of the best gigs out there.
This Bordeaux Blend from our Oakville estate, the 2019 vintage provides exceptional concentration of rich black currant, light tobacco, earthy flavors. The structured tannins balance the hallmark of this easy-going wine, just like the our chill winery dog, Chloe.
