Typically "Napa cult" that should please all fans of the Bob-style (Foley and Parker).
Well-chilled I can appreciate it but served at room temperature it has "too much of everything" for my personal preference.
A solid wine nonetheless.

Well structured and full-bodied with smooth tannins a long beautiful finish. My initial comment was, "there are no words". Pairing it with some ribeyes and some perfectly grilled salmon, a vegetable kugel, and a slab of mac & cheese. The perfect meal!

No commentary required except "stupid good". Unbelievable texture, totally mellowed tannins, and it had me at the nose. Figured we would send this miserable year off in style.

Sometimes when you open a bottle of wine it’s like having Stormy Daniels spread eagled in your lap.
