Tasting notes

Artalade Montagna Vineyard: Deep, dark raven black with touches of crimson red and candy red on the rim. On the nose: Explosion of minerality, warm stone, thyme and oregano with milk chocolate, cedar, cinnamon and nutmeg. On the palate: Big round entrance evolving fast on a mineral mid-palate with granular tannins and touches of milk chocolate, graphite and black fruit, lingering on a silky finish with juicy fruit like cherry, plum and touches of potpourri.

Sacrashe Vineyard: Dark black oil with touches of scarlet on the rim. On the nose: Beautiful balance between fruit, spices and herbs with touches of pepper, crushed red pepper flakes and rosemary, lingering on dark cherry preserve. On the palate: Silky entrance evolving on a fresh mid-palate with granular tannins, touches of mulberry, persimmon and plum, lingering on gingerbread and lilac.

Denali Vineyard: Shiny, deep ruby on the rim. Expressive nose of elderberry and clay, lingering on bacon, licorice and paprika. On the palate: Soft, velvety entrance evolving on a framed mid-palate with fresh blueberry, lavender and boysenberry, lingering on licorice and bay leaf.

Description

Wines, like people, are a reflection of their origin and evolution. The Debate began in 2010 when two friends brought their unique perspectives together to create thought provoking and delicious wines that extend beyond the sense of taste to the thrill of telling stories and the art of listening. By selecting three different vineyards with three different expressions of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, the Debate seeks to point out the diversity of terroir as well as the diversity of people. We live in an age where less and less time is spent at the dinner table discussing these different points of view. The Debate's mission is to bring people together to share a glass of wine to discuss and debate just as our team does.

Every vintage of The Debate is wrapped in newspaper with 'The Debates' of the vintage. Whether its politics, sports, pop-culture or world events, you have the opportunity to reminisce a time, a place and a vintage in history with the people around you. Enjoy the Conversation.
