Caladan represents the endless cycle of life, learning, and exploration. Winemaker Christopher Carpenter leads a bold new adventure in Napa Valley's finest mountain terroir, exploring the nuance, elegance and charisma of Bordeaux's great, lesser-known varieties.The 2017 Caladan opens with dark cherry, Asian spice, and floral notes of rose petal on the nose, followed by a lush palate. The Cabernet Franc and Merlot ride in perfect harmony throughout the long finish, with delicate minerality and sleek tannin structure.
