The Design

Standing tall and adorned in gold, The Gilded Tree is a tribute to the warmth, wonder, and gathering spirit of the holiday season. This exquisitely etched bottle features a majestic holiday tree crowned with a golden star, surrounded by delicate swirling snowflakes, capturing the beauty and magic of winter’s embrace. Much like the deep roots of our vineyards, the holiday tree is a symbol of strength, tradition, and togetherness, a timeless reminder that the best moments are shared over a beautiful bottle of wine.

Winemaker Notes

Our 2021 Holiday Blend consists primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon and combines fruit from sustainably-farmed vineyards in outstanding areas of Napa Valley. Notes of blackberry jam, dark plum and red boysenberry are at the core of this plush red wine, accompanied by aromas of toasted spice and dark chocolate. This wonderful festive bottling is layered with notes of espresso bean and menthol, along with hints of cedar and spice.

Vintage

The 2021 vintage in Napa Valley will be remembered for a smooth, uneventful growing season and harvest that produced low yields of intensely-flavored, small-sized grape clusters. The season started off with very little rain and continued as a dry, sunny summer led to a relatively cool fall with weeks of lovely weather. 2021 represented the second drought year in a row, and while concerning in the long term, the dry weather resulted in a more natural crop load on the vines, requiring less pruning and dropping of fruit. The resulting grapes were packed with flavor leading to powerful, concentrated wines.
