2011 Estate

Roy Estate, founded in 2002 in Napa Valley's Carneros region, is a family-owned winery focused on producing small quantities of ultra-premium, terroir-expressive wines. Winemaker Jeff Gaffner, with experience at Saxon Brown and his own cult label, brings a meticulous, low-intervention philosophy emphasizing site-specific expression. The estate has built a reputation for hedonistic yet balanced reds that rival Napa's top tier, earning acclaim for their power and finesse.

Sourced from Roy Estate's 6-acre estate vineyard in Carneros with alluvial soils and maritime influence, the 2011 vintage benefited from a cool growing season that preserved acidity and developed complex flavors in this Bordeaux-style blend. This wine showcases the estate's terroir-driven approach, with hand-harvested grapes and meticulous blending for optimal structure.
