This unique wine is named for the town of Darwin, Australia, where Kathryn and Craig's small plane required an emergency landing. Once safely on the ground, the Halls toasted their well-being with an Aussie Shiraz/Cabernet blend and pledged to craft a similarly poignant wine in the Napa Valley. Our Darwin is sourced solely from our Napa River Ranch, an optimal site for growing this varietal. The vineyard is located in a uniquely cool micro-climate within the valley. As a result, this wine embodies the dark, muscular, earthy interpretation of Syrah.
