The 2017 showed what one might expect. Not Napa’s best. However, I do not think many quality 2017 producers deserved the early criticism. Most 2017’s are now showing better than they did young. The issue with this 2017 was its finish, not long and somewhat angular.

Brambles, dark red mélange, some dust, and well structured tannins that present nicely after a short decant.
