Amuse Bouche 2024 Proprietary Red, Napa Valley

Amuse Bouche 2024 Proprietary Red is a highly acclaimed Napa Valley Bordeaux-style blend crafted by legendary winemaker Heidi Barrett. Inspired by the great wines of Pomerol, the 2024 vintage combines 92% Merlot with 8% Cabernet Franc, sourced from vineyards in the eastern Rutherford Hills of Napa Valley.

This limited-release wine offers remarkable elegance and depth, balancing rich fruit with refined structure. Aromas of ripe plum, sweet tobacco, dark chocolate, baking spice, and leather lead into a silky, layered palate with exceptional balance and a long finish.

Awarded 96 Points by Antonio Galloni (Vinous), the 2024 Amuse Bouche showcases the luxurious texture and finesse that have made this cult Napa Valley wine one of California's most sought-after Merlot-based blends.

Each bottle also features original artwork by renowned French artist Marc Clauzade. His painting, Casse-Croûte ("Tasty Snack"), captures the joyful energy of a bustling French kitchen and pays tribute to Julia Child's enduring love of food and wine.

Perfect for collectors and special occasions, the Amuse Bouche 2024 is approachable upon release while possessing the structure to reward careful cellaring over the coming decade.

96 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The Amuse Bouche Proprietary Red, a Right Bank-inspired Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend is superb. Expansive, sweet aromatics are immediately seductive. Silky tannins wrap around a core of plum fruit, sweet tobacco, chocolate, spice and leather. This wonderfully expressive, elegant Napa Valley red hits all the right notes in a mid-weight, nuanced style that is all class."
