1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Dark cherries and surprisingly hot on the nose. Wine is young and needs a longer decant. Cherries and subtle caramel and cedar on the palate, but a touch watery. Medium minus finish. — a month ago

9.2

1hr+ decant. Dark red color with purple hues. Classic bell pepper, licorice, coffee, and a bit of oak on the nose. Medium plus depth with high alcohol. Could mistake for a Brunello. Some perfume and orange peel on the palate. Big tannins. A little too harsh on the palate for me. — 13 days ago

These guys used to make a “Heritage” blend with old Napa Zin vines and a bunch of other varietals that was so good. I was very sad when the stopped making it (probably grubbed up the vines and replanted with Cab $$).

The Heritage was great! Had my last bottle back in 2023.

This surprised to the upside! If you like vanilla integrated with oak and a creamy texture, this is perfect. Spanish all the way! Went lovely with our steaks. — 24 days ago

PnP. Big wine with great depth, but massive oak. Lots of life left. Will try my other bottle in 5yrs and hope the oak tones down and some fruit comes through. — a month ago
