Wine Notes
The 2016 vintage offers good tannin development, flavor complexity, and richness. Our varietal selections were cold soaked after harvest for a deeper extraction and then fermented separately in barrel. One of the most striking features of Apocalypse Now is its savage, earthy aromas. Briary berries are layered between notes of tobacco, nutmeg, forest floor, and seasoned wood. Richly textured with supple tannins, the palate reveals velvety flavors of cassis and wild raspberries, notes of violets, and vibrant spice nuances of cloves and peppercorns. This wine is beautifully balanced with a long, decadent finish.
The majority of the fruit for this year’s Apocalypse Now blend is Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley, an appellation that has a variety of microclimates. By sourcing grapes from several sites and blending in small amounts of Petit Verdot and Merlot, we have achieved a rich, full-bodied wine that offers ripe succulent fruits, earthy nuances, and fragrant spice notes.
2016 experienced a traditional season where a cold, wet winter preceded prolonged summer heat. This allowed the fruit to develop excellent flavor concentration and ripe tannins. Harvest was spread out over many weeks, creating a slow pace that let the winemaking team devote more attention to each batch of fruit. This extra care is reflected in the exceptional quality of the wine

"My family has always made wine. To hear it from my father, Carmine, these were not fancy wines. They were everyday wines; wines that were on the dinner table each night. Our Rosso & Bianco wines are made in the same spirit; wine for everyday life." —Francis Ford Coppola
