Well love is love and not fade away,
And my love is bigger than a Cadillac,
I'll try to show it if you drive me back
A nostalgic nod to the late-1950s, inspired by the 1957 song “Not Fade Away” by Charles Hardin (aka Buddy Holly). The label is spray can stencil art of a tail fin / rear end of a 1959 Cadillac. Beautiful, timeless, design that lasts.
The grapes are all valley floor-grown in Napa Valley. The varieties were all kept separate for 20 months then married just before bottling. This puppy sings with aromas of black licorice, cola, leather and chocolate, strumming along into flavors of cassis, vanilla, currants and sarsaparilla.
Faded away.
