Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark as boar’s blood. Smells, dense, ripe and strange. Inky perhaps. Flavors are balanced, juicy, and dry. Lots of licorice, berry and some brandy, bourbon tones. Plenty of cigar and hot road tar in a rainstorm on the backside. Hints of mugwort and artemisia perhaps too. This is a clean and rich Napa style wine with complexity. Could age for a while with the tannins. Not fully funky, but interesting.

Very different than the Angwin. Definitely not as integrated and needs more time. Best days ahead.

Last bits of last sample btl Coravined bfr all sold out. SOOO bummed to see this wine become unavailable =( Soooooo damn good. Cab Sauv from 4 historic Napa vnyrds, all planted in the 1800's including some Beckstoffers, the very 1st vnyrd planted in Calistoga and a chunk of To Kalon NOT owned by Beckstoffer or Mondavi but by UV Davis. They're 1 of 3 producers getting fruit from there. Same 1st press juice in their hi end, sgl vnyrd wines is what is used here!!! The depth and balance of this wine is BONKERS!
