2023 Edict Wines Napa Valley Proprietary Red hits with pure luxury—an elite, precision-built blend that channels the raw power and layered complexity of Napa’s top terroirs.

When it comes to high-end premium wines, authenticity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the secret ingredient. At Edict Winery, they let the grapes do the talking (well, metaphorically). Their philosophy? Stay true to the grape’s essence and the unique character of Napa Valley’s world-famous terroir. The result? A collection of small-batch, hand-crafted wines that are pure Napa magic in a bottle.

At Edict, they believe that exceptional wines start with exceptional vineyards—because, let’s face it, even the world’s best winemaker can’t turn subpar grapes into gold. That’s why they source only the finest fruit from Napa’s most renowned terroirs, including Calistoga, Los Carneros, and the crown jewel: Rutherford. Each bottle is like a love letter to these iconic regions, with their character shining through in every sip.

And speaking of icons, Edict has its own rockstar at the helm. Charles Bartlett, with over three decades of experience in winemaking, is the genius behind these masterpieces. This guy knows Napa like the back of his hand, from the best vines to the perfect barrel toast. His meticulous care and unwavering passion mean every bottle is a celebration of craftsmanship, authenticity, and just a touch of wine wizardry.

The 2023 Napa Valley vintage isn’t just another great year – it’s the year that will be etched in history. Wine experts are calling it "the vintage of a lifetime," and for good reason. The perfect blend of cool temperatures, morning fog, and balanced sunlight created conditions so exceptional that they’re being compared to Bordeaux's iconic 1961 vintage. As The Wine Independent put it, 2023 is "a winemaker's dream in terms of wine style." Wine Bible author Karen MacNeil calls it "one of the most phenomenal vintages ever in Napa Valley." This is Napa at its finest, with wines of depth, power, and elegance that will be the talk of the wine world for decades to come.
