Aging nicely. Cedar, nice bottle bouquet. Spice. Time is kind. Not fruity.

Passionfruit?! Very expressive and unique ripe fruit, soft and caressing fruit in the mouth, velvety, ripe sweet cherry & raspberry. Very drinkable but maybe a bit thinner than I'd like.

Classic Bordeaux blend from one of my favorite areas in Napa, Spring Mountain. Bottles like these are the reason why people love Napa

From their ridiculous estate vineyard at the top of Spring Mountain, such an unusual expression of Napa with herb-forward green character (not under-ripeness, just very clear site expression). Tannins are silky and long but fruit is fresh. Lamb chops.

2008 vintage. Big structure. Still needs another decade to toggle the switch from “hold” to “drink.”
