The 2015 Smith-Haut-Lafitte is adorned with a special label to celebrate the 650th anniversary of the château and the 25th vintage made under the ownership of Daniel and Florence Cathiard. It is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, picked between 23 September until 12 October with the Cabernet Franc. Matured in 65% new oak (although technical director Fabien Teitgen mentioned that he could have added more if he felt it would benefit), it has a very intense, blueberry and crème de cassis scented bouquet, a touch more opulent than its peers with hints of freshly shucked oyster shell developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin couched in gorgeous, satin-textured black cherry and cassis fruit, tinged with cedar and pencil shavings. It lingers very long and sensually in the mouth, completing a sophisticated and powerful Smith Haut-Lafitte that should age in splendid fashion.

Varietal Makeup: 99% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petite Verdot Aging: 20 Months in new French Oak Barrels Vintage Information: Napa Valley’s 2016 Vintage was what some might call “typical”, with well-timed rain prior to and during the early growing season. The January rains left good moisture in the soil, bud-break came early and canopy growth was rapid and even. A warm but moderate summer followed, with fog mitigating the heat extremes and minimizing dehydration, leading to uniform growth overall.

We source grapes from thousand acre vineyards… and 1/4 acre vineyards. We work with fruit from Paso Robles’ east side, west side, and the farthest southern and northern reaches of the AVA We’ve purchased fruit from many of the regions greatest vineyards, like Saxum’s James Berry vineyard. We’ve bought grapes from vineyards that no one knows but us. We pick grapes by hand and drive them to our small winery in the back of our old chevy truck. We foot stomp grapes when the skins are too thick and the grapes too small for any other crush method to work. We’ve left juice on the skins for months to transform them and build long silky tannins. We’ve made wines where the only added ingredient is grapes.. We use some of the best barrels from the finest coopers of France….. in moderation. We believe that the diversity of soil and microclimates in Paso Robles can produce grapes among the best in the world. We believe that collectable wines can only be made only made from a rigorous barrel selection. Special wines are made from special vintages with careful selection in the vineyards. We believe that when everything goes right, Paso Robles has the potential to make the finest wines in the world. This wine has been completely hand and foot made from the vineyard to box by the six hands and feet that represent the Broadside team Ephemera represents Broadside’s view of the best that Paso Robles can offer.

Wood tones dominate this wine when it's first opened, bringing ginger beer and a masculine, cologne-like scent to the savory, Morello cherry flavors.

For seared duck breast or other gamey meats.
