Tasting notes
The 2015 vintage produced wines of extraordinary depth and elegance. In contrast to the powerful 2014, 2015 offers an immense gravity of complex flavors with unrivaled grace. Initial aromas of sweet black cherries evolve
to baking spices and fresh mint. Sweet tobacco and roasted meat envelops the dense fruit on the palate and creates a tactile experience that lingers through incredibly seamless tannins. Drink now with proper decanting
or cellar for 20 years+.
Background
Not wanting to wait until they were in their sundown years, the three founders started Memento Mori, which means 'remember your mortality' in Latin, with the express intent of 'Remembering to Live'. The team's first
vintage was in 2010 and only produced 150 cases to ensure quality and hone the wine's direction. We source from famed vineyards in Napa Valley to produce one flagship wine. Stylistically we wanted to acknowledge the
incredible terroir of Napa Valley and how it produces world class Cabernet but at the same time pay homage to Left Bank Bordeaux which is known for its subtlety and longevity.
