St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, USA
Heavy bottle. Foreshadowing? Dark center. Hint of rust on the edge. Smells like good vinegar and very ripe berries. Cherry sauce too. Flavors are pretty smooth. It’s got a bit of tar and that cooked fruit flavor we often expect from aged stuff. Prunes? Wood. Like sawdust in there. It’s Italian via Napa fo sure. Just not too stimulating.
