Axr Winery Proprietary Red 2019

The Axr dream began with four friends sitting around a table sharing, dreaming, laughing, and occasionally sipping! The room was filled with an intense passion for wine and a good intention to be true to themselves and the history of the Napa Valley.  This is where Axr was born. By utilizing modern and innovative techniques in the cellar, Axr extracts the unique soul of Napa Valley's soils into wines enjoyable now, or for cellaring. 

Calling themselves the Fab 4, the three founders: Kelly Trevethan, Mark Schratz and Don Van Laeken, along with winemaker, Jean Hoefliger, believe in paying homage to the pioneers who had the vision, planted the vines, and created the Napa Valley lifestyle. This young 2019 has a deep, dark inky color with touches of ruby and Ferrari red color. An explosion of cedar, salt, rosemary and violet with lavender, roses, blackberries and vanilla extract, lingering of tulips and blueberry pie follow. Soft entrance evolving on a fruity mid palate with touches of blueberry and blackberry jam, lingering on granular fine tannins with plum and cherry pit. Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot.
