White & Rosé Wines

2020 ROSÉ
HERINGER ESTATE VINEYARD | Clarksburg
Our 2020 Rosé is dry, crisp, and complex. This is a serious wine with great balance and texture. We harvested Tempranillo and Mourvèdre from the Heringer Estate Vineyard in Clarksburg to create a very Mediterranean styled Rosé. Strawberries, watermelon rind, rhubarb, and white peach are exhibited on the nose with weight on the mid to back palate. The wine finishes with wonderful, crisp, juicy acidity. We have found our Rosés benefit from a little bottle age and continue to develop complexity over a few years.

2021 SAUVIGNON BLANC
MORGAEN LEE VINEYARD | Yountville
The 2021 Morgaen Lee Sauvignon Blanc is a stunner. With expressions of melon, guava, a touch of citrus, white stone fruit, dried hay, and wet stone minerality, the 2021 Sauvignon Blanc continues to evolve in the glass. A touch of Pinot Grigio adds weight to the mid-palate helping the wine to be expansive with a long, crisp finish. This is an elegant and graceful wine that should continue to develop in the bottle over the next 5 years.

Red Wines
Vintage 2019

2019 CUVÉE NO. 4 RED WINE
NAPA VALLEY
Our Cuvée no. 4 Red Wine uses Merlot from the Broken Rock Vineyard at the base of Atlas Peak to give it structure, depth, and a solid core of fruit. For the 2019 release, we blended Broken Rock Merlot with Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon from Broken Rock, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. This is a rich wine exhibiting red cherry, cedar, graphite, cocoa, a touch of fennel, and some barrel spice. With soft tannins, lively acidity, and integrated oak, the wine is full and rich and has completeness across palate with a lasting finish. While it has immediate appeal, we expect it to develop and gain complexity over the next 7-to-12 years. Rated 90 points.

2019 CABERNET FRANC
STAGECOACH VINEYARD | NAPA VALLEY
The 2019 Stagecoach Cabernet Franc is big with an elegant entry, fullness on the mid-palate, and a lasting finish. For 2019, the blend is Cabernet Franc with Petit Verdot, Malbec, and an ever so slight amount of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stagecoach Vineyard. Elegant with dark to blue fruits, pronounced dark cherry, a nice touch of floral notes, and slight herbaceous undertone and a nice backbone of tannin and acid. This wine has all the depth and muscle you would expect from the Stagecoach Vineyard and has immediate appeal but will continue to develop and gain complexity over the next 7-to-10 years. Rated 93 points.

2019 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
SIGNATURE RELEASE | NAPA VALLEY
2019 marks the second vintage we’ve used the Melrose Vineyard in the northern part of Rutherford and bordering St. Helena. Managed by Beckstoffer, Melrose produces classic Napa Valley Cabernets and share a lot of similarities to Cabernets from Oakville. For the 2019 vintage, we created a blend that is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Like the 2018 vintage, this wine has character, elegance, texture, and balance. Grainy tannins pair nicely with lively acidity and integrated oak to compliment the richness of the fruit. This wine will continue to develop and gain complexity over the next 10-to-15 years. Rated 91 points.

2019 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
HERITAGE RESERVE | RUTHERFORD
Sourced from the fabled G3 vineyard in Rutherford, this wine shares the same characteristics and pedigree as some of the most legendary and iconic Cabernets ever produced in Napa Valley. Acquired by Georges de Latour in 1928, it was known as Beaulieu Vineyard 3 and was the source of amazing wines for decades. Under its current management, this vineyard produces wines that are everything you would expect from a world-class Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon – dust, black cherry, dark plum, cassis, current, cocoa, cedar, and barrel spice. For 2019, this wine is 92.25% Cabernet blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Lush, opulent, and balanced, with grainy tannins and crisp acidity. The oak is finely integrated adding to the weight and texture in the mid palate and a lingering finish on the back palate. Our Heritage Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon should continue to develop and gain complexity over the next 10-to-15 years. Rated 95 points.

2019 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
LIMITED RELEASE | HOWELL MOUNTAIN
2019 marks a return to Howell Mountain. Our first wine under the Prothro Family Wines label was a 2014 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. That wine won a Gold Medal at the San Francisco International Wine Competition and was rated 90 points. Sourced between 1,800 and 2,000 feet of elevation, the 2019 is just as stunning with impressive fruit, nice tight tannins, and a backbone of acidity. The depth and assuredness of this wine is amazing. While it is beautiful now, this mountain grown wine will benefit from some bottle age. We expect this wine to develop and gain complexity over the next 12-to-18 years. Rated 93 points.

Vintage 2020

2020 CUVÉE NO. 6
RED WINE | NAPA VALLEY
Our Cuvée no. 6 Red Wine is a big Merlot based wine. It’s been described as a baby Cabernet and is 96% Merlot finished with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Sourced from the Broken Rock Vineyard about 1,200 ft up Atlas Peak, it has depth, structure, and balance and exhibits red cherry, cedar, graphite, cocoa, a touch of fennel, and barrel spice. This is a rich wine with completeness across palate and a lasting finish. With immediate appeal, we expect it to develop and gain complexity over the next 7-to-12 years.

2020 CABERNET FRANC
RED WINE | NAPA VALLEY
The 2020 Cabernet Franc is big and structured with an elegant entry, fullness on the mid-palate, and a lasting finish. Elegant with darker to blue fruits, pronounced dark cherry, a nice touch of floral notes, and slight herbaceous undertone. Due to the events of the 2020 harvest, the grower asked that we not vineyard designate this vintage as we have in the past, but rest assured it is sourced from the same remarkable vineyard as all our previous Cabernet Francs. Big with depth and muscle, it is what you would expect from wine sourced from this legendary vineyard and from a block located 1,400 feet up Pritchard Hill. This wine has immediate appeal but will continue to develop and gain complexity over the next 7-to-10 years.

2020 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
SIGNATURE RELEASE | NAPA VALLEY
2020 is our third harvest using the Melrose Vineyard in the northern part of the Rutherford AVA, which is managed by Beckstoffer. We love Melrose and the classic profile of the Cabernet it produces. The wine has character, elegance, texture, and balance. You can feel the grainy tannins, lively acidity, and integrated oak that compliment the richness of the fruit. This is classic Napa Valley and an example of what put its Cabernets on a world stage. We fully expect this wine will continue to develop and gain complexity over the next 10-to-15 years.
