Ashes & Diamonds Description
Ashes & Diamonds Winery is a love letter to Napa Valley as it was when it took the world stage in the 1960s, revealing itself, along with Santa Cruz, as a geological wonderland capable of world-class wines.
Located at the gateway of Napa Valley along its main artery, Highway 29, Ashes & Diamonds Winery’s mid-century approach extends to its architecture. As an homage, the iconic zig-zag roof and portholes are a few of the iconic references to the heritage of California mid-century modern design, seamlessly integrated with a state-of-the-art wine production facility surrounded by light, airy landscapes and playful, rolling berms.
Ashes & Diamonds Winery is the ultimate convergence of modern and old-school flavors, committed to offering a wide-ranging group of wines that adhere to an ethos of light-handed winemaking and transparency of terroir.
WINEMAKER: Steve Matthiason
FARMING: Organic
VARIETY: 100% Cabernet Franc
TERROIR: A selection of sites with volcanic clay and sandy loam soils in Napa Valley’s southern AVAs, contributing to the wine’s structure, minerality, and freshness.
VINIFICATION: Fermented in stainless steel tanks with a maceration period of 20 days to achieve depth and balance.
AGING: Aged for 20 months in 23% new French oak (Stockinger, Sylvain, Taransaud).
TASTING NOTES: A refined and aromatic Cabernet Franc with notes of red currant, black cherry, crushed violets, and graphite. The palate is bright and structured, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
