Typically $25/bottle with Vincent Arroyo, but not currently available from them
Vintage 2014 and 2013. That’s right, we got a twofer
“Why would you order it 2014 then 2013?”
Because we’re thinking outside the scope of time, dear reader, allowing such stunning dualities as these wines being both drinkable right away and with 7-10 years in the cellar

About Vincent Arroyo Winery
Vincent Arroyo, originally a Silicon Valley mechanical engineer, moved out to Calistoga in 1974 and began his winemaking journey. Though gradually becoming a family affair, Vince has always had a hand in the growing and fermentation despite passing the reins to some degree to his daughter Adrian and her husband Matt. With seven different varieties, from Petite Sirah (his mainstay) to Sangiovese to Merlot, the Vincent Arroyo Winery has been a constant in the Napa Valley scene.

Seeing Double

TASTING NOTES:
2013 - “The 2013 vintage had one of the most ideal growing conditions allowing the fruit to have a long hang time without over ripeness. The tannins are well integrated allowing for a soft entry on the palate as well as a nice long finish.”

2014 - “The 2014 vintage of Bridge 1904 Cabernet is full of rich blackberry, boysenberry, dark chocolate and chewy tannins yielding a medium bodied well balanced wine.”
