Hell's Gate
Red Wine Blend, Napa ValleyIf you’re going through hell... Keep going...
Evocative with notes of dark fruits, anise, clove, and cedar that surround the core of bramble fruit compote and cranberry that lies in wait. The full-bodied palate gleams with lifted fruit while plush tannins support the deep, concentrated dark fruit layers. The long, mouthwatering finish makes it an epic journey worth taking.
100 Points
“This wine is a jewel, like a finely cut ruby, pristine and utterly pleasurable now, with perfectly integrated, superfine-grained tannins. It boasts a gorgeous tapestry of tobacco, delicate spices, and an exquisite mineral character. The sophistication of this wine is overwhelming—perfection in a bottle. The precision and purity of the fruit are remarkable, and the balance of richness and precision is unparalleled.“
Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter , November 6th 2024
“This wine is dark and brooding, a wine of elegance, fine and structured tannins, and basically the wine-equivalent of a Wagner piece on a stormy night”
A word from Jayson about Hells Gate
This wine is a supremely satisfying indulgence, something to soothe and nurture the spirit, a timeless indulgence of power and complexity that, frankly, you deserve. The 2019 vintage was in every way a staggeringly great to me. I knew then, as I watched the vintage progress and when I finally and methodically picked the fruit block by block, passing through again and again to get just the perfect clusters, the fruit, those intense flavors, the richness were something incredible, even more so now, looking back, knowing now that the following year would bring so much carnage. How lucky I was, and I didn’t even know it.
