2020 Ovid 'Experiment No 5.0' Proprietary Red Napa Valley

The result of this exploration is a wine with great richness, color and depth. We found the slightly cooler afternoons of the west side to be important in steering the fruit’s expression and secondary aromas. Notes of forest floor, pine bow, and blue and black fruit exude from the glass – a juxtaposition to our estate expressions. These distinct and delicious differences will give us plenty of food for thought as we consider our approach to canopy management, leaf removal (or not) and how we might use shoot laterals to our advantage.
