History: Vice Versa strives to craft world-class wines that are distinctive expressions of the Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Paso Robles. Each of these wines is made to allow the essence of its vineyard to shine through. They are hedonistic and seductive, but so authentic that they speak of their cultivars, terroirs, and the people who help create them.

Tasting Notes:

An opaque ruby color in the glass greets the eye, while the olfactories are treated to notes of blackberry and blueberry pie, creme de cassis, red roses, cocoa, violets, rose petals, and occasionally an exotic spice element. The trick here is to walk the tightrope between tannin and acid structure—which gives longevity—and the opulence that the sunny site gives freely.
