Hundred Acre - Wraith 2016 (750ml) Provance

Hundred Acre - Wraith 2016 (750ml) ProvanceWinemaker Notes The 2016 vintage was the beginning of the end of the drought in Napa Valley. The vines were finally given a break with close to normal amount of rain in the winter preceding the vintage. 2016 was cooler overall than 2014 & 2015, it was warm and dry, but without the massive spikes in temperature that challenged the previous two years. 2016 was the kind of year where even a blind squirrel can find a nut, so most wineries could coast

Great with aged cheeses

A medium to full-bodied Shiraz with bright fruit and spice characters

which no doubt contributes to the wine's idiosyncratic identity
