Portfolio Limited Edition

|
Portfolio, Limited Edition Winery, located in East Napa, is a small family-run, home business. The winery was designed so that Genevieve, Luc and their two children would be personally involved in every step of the winemaking: from crushing, pressing, barreling and bottling to packing and shipping. The winery’s equipment reflects the gentle, gravity flow philosophy of winemaking. The barrels, filled and racked by gravity flow, are aged at the winery in a controlled environment: the temperature remains constant at 60 degrees F and the humidity is maintained at 70% year-round. Portfolio, Limited Edition is one of the exceptionally few, unique wines in the world that is never touched by a pump!

Vintage
The 2004 vintage is our seventh release. A moderately rainy winter and warm temperatures in March initiated an early bud break in 2004, about one week earlier than normal. A relatively cool summer set the path to balance the fruit and the ripeness of the tannins. Temperatures throughout the summer were relatively mild, with famous fog lingering over the vineyard until late morning. The weather has been very cooperative. The wine shows deep color with engaging fragrant ripe fruit and a fresh summer floral bouquet combined to produce a highly-developed aromatic energy. Opulent and generous in mouthfeel, the wine possesses supple and silky tannins. The flavors continue to unfold in a very solid texture, with sophisticated wood merging into an elaborate fruitiness of wild berry and cassis. Finesse, elegance and power combined with a stylish structure end in a persistent finish.
