ERA Napa Valley 2023

ABOUT ERA
ERA is a wine that defines Alpha Omega’s greatest achievement in winemaking each vintage, dramatically illustrating the character and complexity of Napa Valley terroir.
Alpha Omega’s first vintage of ERA in 2006 embodied “the new era” of winemaking in Napa Valley and represents our highest level of dedication to handcrafting a wine that serves as the ideal confluence of Old World traditional handcrafted winemaking methods utilizing New World state of the art technology both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
THE VINTAGE
2023 is an exceptional vintage marked by one of the longest growing seasons in over a decade. Significant winter rains followed by a warm, dry spring supported healthy canopy growth through bloom. Cooler weather prevailed throughout the rest of the growing season aided by abundant sunshine that enabled grapes to ripen slowly and reach perfect maturity. The long growing season and extended “hang time” for grapes has produced wines with stunning, complex flavors and the structure for long term aging.

NOSE: Pure, deep rich aromas of blackberry, raspberry and plum accented by purple flowers, savory herbs, toasted hazelnuts and new leather
PALATE: Full bodied, concentrated flavors of cassis and raspberry with notes of dark roast coffee, graphite and toasted oak that leads to long, layered finish
