Technical Details
Description
Hamilton Creek hearkens back to the early pioneers of the Napa Valley. Ambitious and inspired by this idyllic land, Hamilton Creek embodies the best of what Napa Valley has to offer: Quality, Consistency & Balance.
Napa Valley’s climate creates the perfect place to grow wine grapes. Defined by mountain ranges and influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, this dry Mediterranean climate is a paradise for winemakers. The long growing season is marked by sunny, warm and dry days followed by cool evenings, an optimal combination for allowing grapes to ripen slowly and evenly.
The wines of Hamilton Creek are crafted to be elegant and approachable yet complex and satisfying. This delicate balance is the result of expert winemaking and a deep understanding of the unique microclimates of the Napa Valley. While delicious on their own, Hamilton Creek wines are also the perfect pairing with any classic dish. They seamlessly blend fruit, acidity and tannin to create a harmonious experience.
