Finally getting around to posting wines from my annual Napa trip from two weeks ago. Always goes by quick! Lots of fun new stops this year.
One of the main reasons we go to Napa every year is to attend the Trilogy Release party. Trilogy holds a special place in my family’s heart and it’s always a treat to visit the estate where they pour it like water!
I’ve had many vintages of Trilogy, and this may be the most “elegant”. When comparing to the last 5-6 vintages, this is lighter and more mellow. More potpourri/dried floral aromatics here with added bayleaf, and black cherry cordial. Quite smooth on the palate showing cedar, dusty ripe red and black berry fruits, baking spices and mocha.

Alright alright alright…back out with Rib at or favorite spot. Trying out a new red, and on first blush it’s a winner. Soft subtle aromas of Napa, with just as soft velvety smooth onset. As the old heartthrob for every black woman (Billy D) would say…”Don’t let the smooth taste fool you”. Best way to describe it in the dewars words…Lucious like my wifeys lips.
