History: Memento Mori is a celebrated limited-production wine brand from Napa Valley that has garnered attention in the wine community, among enthusiasts and critics alike. The project was founded in 2010 by three childhood friends, Hayes Drumwright, Adriel Lares and Adam Craun, who were committed to producing sophisticated wines of great balance, honesty and depth. The name, Memento Mori, taken from an ancient Latin philosophy that reminds us of our mortality and the inevitability of death, was interpreted early on by our founders as Remember to Live, a reminder that we should make the most of life and that nothing is guaranteed. We all need to live each day to the fullest.

Tasting Notes:

Energetic waves of blackberry, blackberry, cassis, cigar box, spiced mocha and cloves leap from the glass, continuing to expand and evolve over time. This wine is a decadent blend of black, blue and red fruits supported by expressive minerality and cashmere tannins.
