• Poseidon Vineyard: Sea Level

• Obsidian Ridge: 2,640'

We Tricycle Wine Partners are farmers, coopers, winemakers — intimately involved in the creation of our single-vineyard wines from Napa Carneros and the high Mayacamas Mountains. We own and farm our vineyards: Poseidon Vineyard at sea

level and Obsidian Ridge at elevation 2,640'. We cooper our own barrels with oak selected from the forests of Tokaj, Hungary. We cra� our wines in small lots, which is critical to our winemaking philosophy.

POSEIDON VINEYARD lies at sea level, at the con�uence of Carneros Creek and the Napa River. We’ve farmed this vineyard for more than forty years, from the time Nicholas Molnar planted the property in 1973, following his hunch that the region would produce great wines. Maritime fogs roll across this vineyard, blown in by cooling Paci�c winds, and are then burned away by the generous California sun. �is allows us to make our single-vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with balance and structure.

OBSIDIAN RIDGE is our vineyard planted in 1999 on an abandoned walnut orchard along a ridge at the highest part of the Mayacamas Mountains at elevation 2,300' to 2,640'. At this altitude, colder temperatures and more intense sunlight mean harsher conditions for our vines. �e vineyard’s red soils are also shot with obsidian glass and gravel, providing yet another fortunate hurdle for the vines. All this character-building struggle results in the rare and �avorful fruit that become our Obsidian Ridge wines.

Poseidon Vineyard & Obsidian Ridge

2013 Poseidon Vineyard Estate Pinot NoirCARNEROS NAPA VALLEYAbove the deep and gorgeous robe of color, our 2013 Estate Pinot Noir exhibits aromas of cherry and cola with hints of fruit, leather and undertones of plum. Focused black cherry �avors dance on the palate, and an elegant dash of vanilla sweetens the wine for a long, inviting �nish. 1,625 cases produced 9 months in 100% Kádár Hungary barrels, 33% new Alcohol 13.8% • •

2012 Obsidian Ridge Estate Cabernet SauvignonRED HILLS LAKE COUNTY�e spicy aroma and structure comes from fruit picked later in the season, from the lower blocks of the vineyard at 2,300’. A small percent of Petit Verdot was added for aromatic intensity and volume. �e young wines were placed in our Kádár Hungary barrels where they aged for 18 months. A rich and elegant o�ering, this is quintessential mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. �e 2012 is certainly a crowd pleaser now, but will also reward the patient collector of �ne Cabernet Sauvignon.5,924 cases produced 18 months in 100% Kádár Hungary barrels, 50% new Alcohol 14.3%
