2021 vintage. Interesting Napa cab in the mid-$20's a btl resto cost. Medium body. Same winemaker as Vineyard 29 but somewhat different stylistically. Those light/medium bodied wines have more mineral-driven style whereas this has more dark fruit (blackberry, plum, blueberry) and slightly more body. Both ride on the subtlety fringes and, correspondingly, this is more complimentary than demonstrative. Still, for the price (less than $30 a btl resto cost), great value. 03.05.25.

2018 vintage. Cherry and cedar in the nose. Light-medium body. Cocoa powder, dark cherry and a little cedar on the follow through. Not a heavy hitter.

Haven’t had one in awhile. Enjoyable but nothing special.

Sipped this over a few nights. Last taste as good as the first.

Deep ruby color. Aromas of cherry cola, vanilla with a floral accent. Lovely earthy, dusty cherry, simply delightful!
