Endeavoring to experience the greatest wines in the world, Archetype is all about celebrating legendary bottles. Event led by Master Sommelier Nick Davis.

Some are of the opinion that Napa Valley is the most popular tourist destination in America, and for good reason! Dramatic rolling hills beset with vineyards in all directions, the beauty of the region is only matched by the glory of its produce. Major developments through the 20th century put Napa on the map, and forever changed the world of wine on an international scale. In this tasting, we will explore some of the great wines of the Valley, from a range of vintages and producers.

The three featured wines are all based on the halcyon subzone of Oakville, reputed as top-grade viticultural real estate:

2005 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Martha’s Vineyard, Oakville
2013 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Backus Vineyard, Oakville
2019 Schrader Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon RBS Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, Oakville
