Baldacci, 2021 Red Blend | Napa Valley: Baldacci Family Vineyards is located in a beautiful part of the Napa Valley just off of the Silverado Trail (west side) slightly south of the Yountville Cross Road. Records show the property was originally planted with grapevines in 1888; it was purchased by Tom & Brenda Baldacci in 1998. For approximately six years, the family sold grapes, including to notable producers such as Rombauer, Shafer Vineyards and Clos du Val. Eventually, Tom decided to build a winery rather than selling the property. Perhaps his family heritage had something to do with his decision, being the grandson of Italian immigrants who made their own wine.
A deep garnet color shows in the glass. The bouquet draws you in with scents of fresh berries, spices and a touch of oak. These impressions repeat on the palate, helped by soft tannins to deliver a round and balanced, ready to drink wine.
