Fruit from Abreu Madrona and Thorevilos vineyards.

Decant for sediment (lots of chunky/fine sediment). A startling purplish reddish magenta color. On the nose: plum, creme de cassis, smoked meat, mint, vanilla nuts. Taste: This Songbook is singing! A smooth, velvety, balanced medium body wine with blueberry, bitter chocolate, red currants, spice, tar, and a minerally cedar semi dry finish. Nice start to the weekend!

Wow...the bouquet jumps out of the glass with black fruit, forest floor, green veggies. Taste: Currents, leather, black fruit, dried herbs. Some bitter tannins at the end??

Dark black/purple. On the nose: Black fruit, cedar, floral. Taste: Currents, pencil lead, black cherry, ending with a nice little tannic bite and a little alcohol heat in the back of the mouth.....Give this more time for an even better score.

Wow, great complexity. Had this for Thanksgiving 2017 and it was delicious but it’s really wonderful now.

I’ve never been much of a Napa fan, but... this is, definitely, something else. Elegant black fruit with a hint of herb. This wine is alive and, definitely, celebrating life!!!
