The iliad
napa valley
The Iliad, our whte Rhone-style blend, begins with a bright perfume
of honeysuckle and acacia flowers and continues it’s epic tale with undertones of sandlewood and herbs.
With good acidity, concentration and balance, The Iliad boasts of
flavors of apricots and a hint of citrus. The long, clean finish offers a
structured minerality with a hint of tannin and cream.
