Paying homage to the then wine maker at Whitehall Lane; Dean Sylvester. An unsung genius, whom I will never forget. I hope I am able to tip a glass with him in September when I am there.
The nose, ahhh, the nose is sublime. The majority juice is merlot, but there is a sizable dollop of cab, which helps to elevate the aromas of black cherries, maple syrup, freshly baked bread and talcum powder.
The palette is wonderful. It has such clarity and purity. Tannins are balanced with the acidity and 14.2 abv. A wonderful texture which finished sweet.
The new winemaker has a tough act to follow, but I'm sure he's up to the challenge. โ 8 years ago
Purchased at bachelorette wine tasting in April 2019, opened August 2019. As good as I remembered it! Drank with Piero for Sunday dinner grill night. โ 5 years ago

We ALWAYS love this stuff. Not exuberant like many Napa cabs. Fruit-forward , but not so sweet. Shows depth and restraint on the palette. Hats off to Dean Sylvester. โ 8 years ago

This has stood still. Love this wine from the prior winemaker; Dean Sylvester.
From magnum.
Notes of cocoa and coffee. Tannins are integrated. Good acid profile. This has another 5 years of runway, at least. Happy Christmas, lifeforms ๐ฝ โ 5 years ago
