Fruit forward but slight dryness develops with time. Great wine with a fantastic steak at La Vaca Negra! — a year ago
The wine that sent me down the rabbit hole. Not sure if it was the silky texture, boysenberry and licorice flavors, or the chocolate. In my mind the 2012 Altamura was brilliance in a glass and I needed to learn more.
Altamura Ranch is located in Wooden Valley. The valley is described as a small, almost round valley, approximately two miles wide at its widest point and located 9 miles northeast of the town of Napa within the Napa Valley appellation. It is is bordered by the Vaca Range to the east and “Napa Mountain” to the west.
I will always remember the first time I enjoyed this wine. Fairly confident I could pick this wine blind. The 2013 is just as good as the first time. — 2 years ago

Fantastic Cabernet…. Paired incredibly well with our slow braised short ribs… jammy, dark fruit, and semi bold. Got another bottle that I’m going to let sit a little longer and compare. — 8 days ago
