Vintage Notes
A long, cool growing season with no major heat spikes allowed the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, achieving full phenolic maturity without excessive sugar accumulation. Generous winter rains replenished soils and supported healthy vine growth, producing an above-average yield of balanced, vibrant fruit. This ideal combination of weather and vine health resulted in Cabernets with remarkable purity, complexity, and classic structure, offering excellent aging potential.
Winemaking Notes
The Reserve was crafted from three individual estate blocks, all hand-picked and hand-sorted. Malolactic fermentation occurred in French oak barrels, and the wine was aged for 22 months—one-third in new oak and two-thirds in neutral. Final blending was completed two months prior to bottling to ensure harmony, balance, and a refined expression of the estate fruit.

Delacroix Family Winery has been crafting Chardonnay in Napa Valley since long before the region became world-famous for the varietal. Produced from the family's historic estate vineyard, this 2025 vintage reflects generations of experience and a winemaking philosophy centered on balance, elegance, and purity of fruit.
Hand-harvested and barrel fermented before spending five months in French oak, the wine delivers a creamy texture layered with vibrant stone fruit, citrus, and subtle oak complexity. At just $20 per bottle, this exclusive Napa Daily Deals allocation offers exceptional value on a genuine family-estate Napa Chardonnay.
Tasting notes
Brilliant pale gold with shimmering green reflections. Aromas of white peach, poached pear, lemon cream, yellow apple blossom, toasted hazelnut, and warm brioche lead into a rich yet balanced palate. Creamy layers of ripe stone fruit, citrus curd, and delicate baking spice are supported by refreshing acidity, finishing long, clean, and elegantly refined.
Winemaking
The fruit was hand-harvested at peak ripeness and whole-cluster pressed to preserve freshness and aromatic purity. Fermentation took place in French oak barrels, followed by five months of barrel aging, adding texture, depth, and gentle oak character while allowing the vibrant fruit to remain the focus. Delacroix's long-standing philosophy emphasizes harmony—using oak to enhance, never overpower, the wine.
