About The Wine

If you love Orin Swift's Papillon, then Sigrid will be your new best friend! Meet 2023 Arling Blaze Sigrid in Black Proprietary Red, a captivating and bold red blend that makes a powerful impression.

Robert’s experience reads like a winemaking masterclass. He started at top Napa Valley wineries like Quintessa, Seven Stones, and Covert Estate, even spending time in South Africa to refine his skills. At Quixote Winery, he perfected his craft, mastering age-worthy Cabernet and Petite Sirah. Today, he’s celebrated for creating wines that bring together rich fruit flavors and a smooth, elegant structure.

Robert’s journey through some of the world’s top vineyards and mentors, including Aaron Pott and Philippe Melka, has infused this wine with exceptional finesse and complexity. With his signature touch, Eternal Embrace is a testament to the art of winemaking, capturing both depth and immediate appeal.

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. AsThe Wine Independentput 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.

A Cabernet Sauvignon-Zinfandel blend.

The nose hits with a blast of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, wrapped in mocha, vanilla, and a whisper of smoky oak.

The palate is full-throttle and velvety, stacked with layers of ripe black fruit, dark chocolate, and a crack of black pepper and clove.

Firm, polished tannins give it backbone, lively acidity keeps it lifted, and the finish goes on and on—rich, luxurious, and edged with a touch of earth.
