Considered one of the "first growths" of Napa Valley, founded in 1970 and celebrating their 40th anniversary and over 4 decades since famous Paris Tasting, this wine is something special. Deep dark Ruby, comple aromas, sweet berry fruits, floral, earth and gritty notes, enticing. Blackberry, wild currants and hints of sweet red fruit flavors, savory undertow adding some licorice and cacao. Fine dusty tannins begging for more time to develop, ending with a great attitude. Excellent!
