"...The wine comes from grapes sourced mostly the eastern Vacca hillsides. The palate is very rocky and stony on the palate, with serious power and underlying finesse. Dark currant cordial, mocha, cigar box and volcanic ash flavors all seamlessly come together on the palate."

Tasting notes

Dense garnet in color, the 2021 vintage of 1873 is masculine in character with brooding aromas of tobacco, anise, black currant, and ceder. On the palate flavors of dark cherry, black olive and black pepper combine with dense, structured, mouth-coating tannin for a lengthy, extracted, earth-driven finish.

  • Sweet Tobacco
  • Blackcurrant
  • Dark Cherry
  • Black Olive

Wine Facts

In 1873, Captain William Peterson came to Napa and established a pioneering winery on our St. Helena property. Throughout the 1930’s and 40’s, the site grew to become Napa’s most important winery, producing nearly 40% of its entire vintage. The fruit for our “Eighteen Seventy-Three” hails from the rugged mountain slopes that frame Napa Valley. Power and individuality underscore this wine, a deliberate intent to commemorate the trailblazing spirit of Napa’s first vintners.

Vintage Notes

The alluring 2021 vintage is notable for its low yields, which resulted in an extra degree of concentration in our wines. In a second year of severe drought, the vines grew quickly in the warm spring weather while our team carefully managed irrigation block by block. By summer, the vines had set a lighter than average crop, and cooler weather in August allowed time for multiple vineyard passes to finetune the fruit load and manage the canopy. After a smooth harvest season, we are excited about the beautifully balanced, flavor-packed 2021's.
