Heartstone castle

Posted by Castle of inspiration  from Arvada, Co  on May 6, 2008

We visited this magnificant masterpiece that started as a dream and became a reality. the first week castello di amorosa opened we had the fortunate experience to tour the castle and taste the wine. turns out daryl was there and assisted customers in the wine tasting extravaganza:) this masterpiece that took many years of hard work to complete, is well worth the visit to napa to experience the true workmanship and efforts this man created for all of us to enjoy!

Castle of all castles

Posted by Paradise  from Santa rosa, Ca  on March 26, 2008

Definatley a must see destination while in napa!
just amazing, the wines have come along just great.( after reading the first review) and the lady we met at the gate was very sweet and informed us how it worked. our tour guide, cindy was a true pleasure to tour with!
a couple of the wines did need more bottle time, but still showing potential. the reserve cabs are amazing.
the late harvest gewertz is the best i have tried in california. see for yourself.
you will not be disapointed.
