The Character

Overall Richly Layered

Aromas Cedar, nutmeg, cinnamon bark and toasted vanilla, followed by spiced plum and red currant aromas

Mouthfeel Luscious & Vibrant

Tasting Notes A lovely waft of barrel toast greets the nose with cedar, nutmeg, cinnamon bark and toasted vanilla, followed by spiced plum and red currant aromas. Bright red fruits lead on both the nose and palate with a luscious, vibrant entry built on flavors of cranberry sauce, pomegranate, Bing cherry and plum. There is a spice note throughout suggesting cardamom and allspice with hints of dried herbs. It’s a richly layered wine with smooth tannins, nice acidity that balances out the grip and a lovely balance of fruit and earth.

The Story

The historic Priest Ranch is now part of the Somerston Estate, a significant property totaling 1,682 acres, with 222 acres planted to hillside vineyards. Dramatic elevations of the vineyards define and distinguish the estate, ranging from 800 ft to 1,650 ft above sea level. In 2018, the grapes for this wine were chosen from seven vineyard blocks on the estate.

About Priest Ranch

Brand Story

Priest Ranch is a historic Napa Valley property established in 1869 by James Joshua Priest, a Gold Rush prospector. In 2004 we combined the historic Priest Ranch and Elder Valley properties to create the Somerston Estate. Today the 1,615 acre estate has 215 acres of producing vineyards from 15 distinct areas with a total of 180 different blocks. We have explored the diversity of the property by blending multiple blocks into every wine produced. These multi-block wines showcase impressive quality and represent the property at the highest level. Each vineyard is uniquely tended based on the grape varietal.
