Azur Wines
91 Point Azur Reserve Napa Valley Red // 750 ml
Product Description
To produce the highest quality wines, the origin of quality expressed through the vineyards, the fruit, and very production practices determine a good wine from a great wine. Azur Wines creates highest quality wines representative of their two cultures— French & American. Emphasis on vineyard selection, farming and fruit maturity is their main priority, which is why the wines they produce reflect their dedication to haute quality with expressive layers of details and distinct flavors.
The Azur Reserve is made in the classic Bordeaux style balanced with the rich fruit offered by the Napa Valley terroir. The grapes are selectively chosen from the hillsides of Napa to highlight concentrated black fruits. Every bottle has a complex combination of blackberry and currant expressions with a refreshing brightness which leads into lingering tannins.
Julien Fayard is one of the hottest cult winemakers in America. He strives to create a similar flavor profile each year for this wine regardless of varieties and blending compositions. Aromatically the Syrah shows more on this bouquet then perhaps the other two varieties— leather notes, blueberry, and darker fruit. The palate is all about darker fruit with good acidity and broad-based tannins that linger for some time.
“As a winemaker, my job is to bring out the best qualities that the vines have provided. I don’t seek to make a style of wine but more so to make wine that sings of its place, its history and its uniqueness. That’s my goal as a winemaker, to make wines that are pure expressions of their environment and not mask it. Wines with an identity.” – Winemaker Julien Fayard
