Meaning purple bell or gentian flower, "rindo" represents the beautiful purple hue of the grape clusters, that resemble the shape of many bells hanging in the vineyard. As the flagship red wine in the collection, rindo is the singular expression of the estate's magnificent diverse vineyards, that grow an alluring mosaic of Bordeaux varietals. Each vintage is reflective of its growing season, and each is uniquely tuned and refined by blend.

2005 Vintage Notes
Record-setting precipitation late into the growing season delayed bloom and set. The summer months were cool and pleasant with few heat spikes. Fog and cool temperatures were a concern heading into September but nearly perfect conditions arrived with an Indian Summer making for a later than average harvest, extended hang time, excellent sugar development and balanced acids. It was a larger than average crop of what was considered a signature Napa Valley vintage.
