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.

On the nose: Beautiful explosion of cassis, coffee, cedar, dried cranberry, cinnamon, licorice, bay leaf and raspberry.

Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard: Deep, dark black olive with touches of fuchsia on the rim. On the nose: Explosion of cedar, pepper and pencil shavings with minerality, fresh blackberry, paprika, pomegranate and mulberry. On the palate: Fresh entrance evolving on a structured mid-palate lingering on dark fruit and acidity like star fruit elderberries and plums.
