The wine that sent me down the rabbit hole. Not sure if it was the silky texture, boysenberry and licorice flavors, or the chocolate. In my mind the 2012 Altamura was brilliance in a glass and I needed to learn more.
Altamura Ranch is located in Wooden Valley. The valley is described as a small, almost round valley, approximately two miles wide at its widest point and located 9 miles northeast of the town of Napa within the Napa Valley appellation. It is is bordered by the Vaca Range to the east and “Napa Mountain” to the west.
I will always remember the first time I enjoyed this wine. Fairly confident I could pick this wine blind. The 2013 is just as good as the first time.

Consistently one of my favorites. I brought this bottle and was a favorite of the evening. Velvety chocolate. Elegant.

Ready to drink now. Full fruit early becoming very jammy late. Opens up very well with gentle tannins. Excellent with steak or Eggplant Parmesan. Above my price point but I will buy this again.
