2023 Bon Ton Napa Valley
Red Wine
If you've been to the winery in the past year, you might have seen a couple bottles of this floating around. Bon Ton Napa Valley derives its name and label artwork from the French fashion magazine Gazette du Bon Ton, originally published between 1912 and 1925 in Paris depicting the haute couture of top designers. The highlights of the magazine were the ten to twelve fashion plates published in each issue. Our label represents one of these original fashion plates. “Bon Ton” literally translates as “good tone,” but more broadly can also mean stylishness, good manners, or refer to fashionable society.
The 2023 Bon Ton Napa Valley Red Wine is a blend of 43% Zinfandel, 28% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% each Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, this wine presents dark fruit flavors with a musky midpalate, soft and subtle tannins with notes of tobacco and graphite, and a lingering blackberry sweetness on the finish.
