{"product_id":"waterfall-old-vine-proprietary-red-wine-napa-valley-2023","title":"Waterfall, Old Vine Proprietary Red Wine Napa Valley, 2023","description":"Waterfall was established by wine industry veteran Boris Guillome in 2013. His vision was to create a \"micro-production\" label (initially launching with just 140 cases) that prioritized fruit from heritage sites over mass-market volume. The brand is built on the \"discovery\" model—offering elite winemaking expertise at a more accessible tier than typical Napa cult reds.\n\nWhile the brand operates with a quiet, minimalist aesthetic, its guiding philosophy—and de facto motto—is \"Pure, Focused, and Spectacular.\" It reflects a commitment to let the \"gnarled\" old vines speak for themselves without over-manipulation in the cellar.\n\nThis wine is a true Bordeaux-style blend with Cabernet Sauvignon’s dark-fruit backbone and Cabernet Franc’s aromatic lift. Aged 18–22 months in 40–60% new French oak. This meticulous process softens old-vine tannins, integrating elegant notes of cedar and spice while preserving the fruit’s intense, concentrated purity and mid-palate richness.\n\nThis full-bodied red offers a dense, mouth-coating palate of blackberry compote and tobacco. Its old-vine heritage shines through velvety tannins and a seamless, earthy finish. Balanced acidity ensures the concentrated fruit remains vibrant, delivering a sophisticated, powerful expression of Napa Valley terroir.\n\nPair this bold red with a rosemary-crusted rack of lamb or a dry-aged ribeye to let the wine's tannins cut through the rich fats.","brand":"Casedrops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54181636243802,"sku":"cmpfcykul00070bhw0u5x8xb8","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/0141\/5514\/files\/cmkya2ujv001lif048bwyln59_5245848f-4f0a-4ce0-9f42-edcce3b1716f.png?v=1779359932","url":"https:\/\/shop.casedrops.com\/products\/waterfall-old-vine-proprietary-red-wine-napa-valley-2023","provider":"Casedrops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
