Vintage Notes Moderate to cooler temperatures in early spring resulted in a delayed start followed by showers during bloom in May. However, continual moderate temperatures from June through August allowed vines to balance their growth. By early August, as cluster size was fully developed and overall growth more harmonious, it was clear that 2019 would be a memorable vintage. A month later, most red grapes showed complexities and flavors that normally would not appear until later in the season. The 2019 wines show early approachability and impeccable balance.

Winemaking Philosophy Two Squared wines are designed to be approachable in both flavor and price. Opulent, fruit-driven and generous, with a backbone of acidity and elegance, these wines are produced by masterful blending across terroirs evocative of Napa Valley's modern style. The winemakers used all five Bordeaux varieties to create the essence of Napa Valley in this Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine, with Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a touch of Petit Verdot bringing out the nuances in the blend.

Vineyard Sources Two Squared has unearthed a range of privately-owned boutique vineyards, hidden gems tucked in secret pockets of Napa Valley. A combination of fruit mostly from the Atlas Peak AVA with almost equal amounts from the Rutherford, Oak Knoll District, Spring Mountain and Oakville sub-appellations, this wine truly showcases the diversity of Napa Valley terroir.
