Dry with a nose deeply evocative of Santa Rosa plum, crème de cassis, and blackberry which are given complexity by wild sage and chaparral. The mid-palate is marked by a strong mineral presence, with a chalky, savory richness joined to round fruit and notes of Moroccan spice. Structure and balance are given by a bright spine of acidity.

When making a movie, and there is not enough film left in the camera for another take, we replace the magazine and call the left over film stock; “Short Ends.” Similarly, after crafting our Hollywood and Vine “2480″ wines, we often have a little wine left from each of our world-class vineyard sources, and we blend those “Short Ends” into this remarkable and uniquely delicious Napa Valley Cabernet.

Dry. Clean, ripe berry fruit on the nose. The effects of the year’s heat are felt in the ripeness of the fruit and tannins but there is nothing green about it, while the jammy note gives it a certain immediate appeal. Despite this, it has the structure to last another dozen years. This Bordeaux-style blend is produced by Tenuta San Leonardo in Italy.

Beautiful aromatics of black fruits, black currant, licorice, dark chocolate and integrated French vanilla oak; well structured with great length of sweet and silky tannins melting into your palate. The lingering finish exhibits complex flavors of rich delicate fruits and warm gravelly earth.
