Fess Parker was cast in the roll of Davy Crockett in the mid-1950's. Aromas of berry fruit, earthy notes and floral spices. On the palate cherry, raspberry and cola notes with vanilla and smoky oak tones. Subtle dusty tannins, lingering finish ending with earthy floral character.

Also a lush and weighty but fruit-driven style.

Overripe jammy fruit. Flabbiness the result of not enough cool nights on the vine.

While PN from Sta. Rita Hills is known for its bight red cherry fruits, this one has a bit more dark fruits laced with warm spices and still vibrant acidity. The palate is supple and elegant with deep complex flavors. Velvety tannins. At its peak.

Ordered this bottle after the first course and before the main course, so it was not given the proper time. But love the earthiness here. Good depth and length. Sense of balance. Would definitely like to taste again.
