AXR
PROPRIETARY RED
NAPA VALLEY 2021
AXR’s estate is a historic property founded over 130 years ago that has been a brewery, restaurant, inn, winery, and saloon, and it today once again a winery that celebrates its decorated past. Sitting at the base of the Mayacamas range, the sedimentary soils in the vineyards are the result of thousands of years of runoff that provides wines with incredible depth and character.
Winemaker Jean Hoefliger draws on his experience working in the cellars at Chateau Carbonnieux and Chateau Lynch-Bages in Bordeaux, bringing a Grand Cru Classé style to his Napa Valley wines. The 2021 Proprietary Red Blend is a classic Left Bank style with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot that is rich, juicy, and approachable and will improve with time in the bottle.

“The AXR 2021 Napa Valley Proprietary Red is powerful, with concentrated aromas of black cherry, plum, cassis, allspice, and cedar. On the palate, the wine has rich flavors of blackberry, blueberry yogurt, and black tea leaves with chewy tannins and fresh acidity. This wine is youthful and vibrant, and with a few more years in the bottle, it will begin to unfold its inner layers of complexity.”
