14.5% alc.
Primarily sourced from a 5 acre Napa vineyard with 100 year-old field blend vines.
This is showing amazingly young at age 20 although (and probably due to winemaking choices) some dusty and drying tannins are starting to show after 60 min.

I have to agree with Robert Parker that this is one of the most overlooked American varietals.
