We will be hosting a winemaker tasting from 6 to 8 pm. Stop by at anypoint to meet Daniel Benton and try some selections from Croze and Smith Wooton.

Croze was founded with the aim of producing handcrafted Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon.

2019 marks the 20th year of production as their first vintage using the Croze label was

released in 1998. Since then, the line has expanded to include six wines: Cabernet Sauvignon

| Cabernet Sauvignon Vintner's Reserve | Cabernet Port | Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé |

Chardonnay | “Suzanne K” Viognier

Handcrafting of fine wines is an art form. Each year the grapes provide a unique challenge

that requires new solutions to bring the wine to its greatest potential. Winemaker Daniel

Benton takes great care to let the vineyards express themselves in the finished product.

Grapes are sourced from Napa Valley vineyards including Oakville, Rutherford, Diamond

Mountain, Howell Mountain and Oak Knoll Districts. They are gently crushed and stemmed,

leaving many whole berries. Fermentation is slow and cool to enhance the fruit flavors. The

grapes are always handled gently to avoid unnecessary extraction of harsh tannins.

The wine is then aged in French oak barrels from Never, chose to compliment the special

characteristics of cabernet sauvignon. These methods create a Bordeaux-style wine that is

ready to drink at release but will continue to improve for years to come.
