Mi Sueño Winery’s owner Rolando Herrera started his Napa Valley odyssey in 1982 — as a dishwasher. To say that this wine is evidence of how far he has come over the course of the last 37 years is to honor his journey to excellence. I can’t wait to taste other wines that he and his wife Lorena have in store. In this bottle, classic hillside Napa Valley fruit aromas and flavors ride down a road of Mount Veeder structure with power and weightlessness all at once. It’s just beginning to show its charms, and it has an easy twenty years of unveiling ahead. Bravo to the Herreras as they continue to share their dreams with us!
