Baldacci Fraternity Red Wine Napa Valley 2019 ($70)
Cabernet sauvignon makes up 46 percent of this blend with the balance coming from merlot, syrah and cabernet franc grapes. With this breadth, the wine is fittingly broad-shouldered with blue fruit and olive aromas, strawberry and pomegranate flavors, and long in the finish. The tannins are big here, so decant or age.

As sheets of rain and hail pounded parts of San Francisco Tuesday, Michael Baldacci, owner and winemaker at Baldacci Family Vineyards, looked out his window at the renowned Stags Leap District in Napa County and saw his cover crops coming to life.
Although intense storms continue to wreak widespread damage across the state, the wet weather is a boon for winemakers, who have long been waiting for the rain.
“It just feels like we’ve been kind of praying for this,” said Baldacci. “The rains really have been something that we’ve welcomed the last couple of weeks.”

Of course, there could theoretically be a point of too much rain. Winegrowers’ big worry during a major storm is erosion. But no one I spoke to reported any erosion issues so far. “It seems to be the big drink we’ve been looking for, without any of the bad effects,” said Michael Baldacci, director of winemaking and vineyards at Baldacci Family Vineyards in Napa.

“Baldacci Family Vineyards sits at the intersection of Yountville and Stag’s Leap, and its Perfect Pairings program is just that. The nibble-heavy experience explores the science of how wine and food amplify each other and even offers suggestions of what to pair with your personal favorite bites and sips.”
