Dark fruit and spice notes with a smooth mouth feel. I'll have to grab another bottle to replace it and be more patient with it. I think it will be worth the wait.

Famed winery that put Napa on the map in Paris. This is an old world wine, not super bold or fruit forward. Might need more time on the shelf.
