Intense, dark, ruby-red color. Aromas of black and red fruit, pencil shavings, mocha, chocolate, and spices such as hibiscus and anise. The palate is deeper and firmer than Juliet and is a challenging dance between pure power and seductive grace. The small amount of Petit Verdot and Malbec grip more to your teeth and confirm its masculine feel. Delightfully mineral and with a beautiful balance. Choosing between Romeo and Juliet is not necessary... Place them side by side and make it an unforgettable experience!

Just like the Signature Juliet, this wine is an experience in itself. Of course, you can also enjoy it with a delicious piece of meat, but if you want to fully explore all the sensations and impressions, take your time and choose a special moment. The main difference with Juliet is that she comes across as more elegant, finer, and... more feminine. While Romeo appears more robust, muscular, and... therefore more masculine. So, his ideal "tasting" age is also slightly higher.

climate

The grapes here do benefit from necessary cooling during the night, but on average, the temperature is still a few degrees higher than in the Atlas Peak vineyards.

soil

The Romeo Cabernet is made from grapes sourced from the finest vineyards of Rutherford, Oakville, and St. Helena, which are located slightly west and at lower elevations than Atlas Peak (Juliet). These vineyards have sedimentary and volcanic origins.

vinification

94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, and Malbec. Rigorous selection and manual harvesting during the coolness of the night. Fermentation of individual plots separately. Subsequently, the wine is aged for 80% in new French oak and 20% in flavor-neutral barrels for balance and structure for 21 months. Then comes the final blend and bottling.
