DECADE COLLECTION
A special collection to celebrate the last decade of winemaking at Nativo
DECADE COLLECTION
The last 10 years have been the source of many emotions, accomplishments and losses. Most notably the loss of Penny, Billy’s late wife, as well as the loss of most of the 2014 and 2015 Red Blend vintages in a fire.
The bottles in this box are the last of their kind.

The first time we nearly got 5 starsin Platter’s
We built our rammed earth tasting room and underground cellar; it was the first time making wine in our own cellar
A fire destroyed most of the remaining award-winning 2014 and 2015 reds, and the Amarillo was born
Made the Amarillo that would be one of the first orange wines to go to 5-star round in Platter’s
