Single Vineyard Oakville wine but no Cab in this. Negrette, Mondeuse, Petite Sirah, Carignan, Chenin Blanc, Colombard and more. Vineyard at the foot of Harlan and across from To-Kalon, oldest vines in Oakville.
Took one for the team here as this is just ridiculously young. Decanted for 12 hours and that was enough to give it some nose but the fruit is still coiled up behind huge structure. The wine pours dark as night and even though there are at least 10 different grapes in this single vineyard blend the best thing I can equate it to at this stage is like drinking a way too young petite sirah. Incredible potential here and glad I have a vertical back to the first vintage, but I won’t be touching any of them for a decade.

I admit it,I should've waited like 10 years to open.... Great blend, full of flavor.

Big nose of dark fruit, plum and baking spices. Big smooth taste with a slight drying finish. Lovely stuff. 2016 vintage.
