Not sure this is Napa Valley AVA, but I am sure it’s good. 50% Cab, 40% Zin, 10% Syrah. Deep color and deep red and blue fruit on the nose, nice graphite and gravel accents. Deep and soft in the mouth, but with lots of deeply buried tannin structuring things subtly. Clingy, rich finish. Quite a satisfying, um, tipple.
