Atlas Peak, Napa Valley, California, USA
The nose reveals; bright red florals and dark fruits. Blueberries, blackberries, plum, cranberries, black raspberries, sour cherries, rich dark soils, touch of smoke, black licorice, volcanic minerals, sandstone, warm toast and dark & light red & blue flowers.
The body at this stage was a touch austere on entry. Big structure and deep tarry tannins. Blueberries, blackberries, plum, cranberries, strawberries, pomegranate, black raspberries, sour cherries, rich dark soils, touch of smoke, dark spice, whiff of pepper, black licorice, volcanic minerals, leather, sandstone, warm toast and dark & light red, blue flowers with lavender. The acidity is waterfallish. The finish has nice length, well balanced fruit and earth, elegant but, needs time to flush out. Better things ahead for 16 Fearless in 3-5 years.
Photos of; Hunnicutt winery, Hunnicutt Winemaker-Kirk Venge. He of course, makes his own label, Venge. As well as, a number of others labels. Hunnicutt is also a custom crush facility for quite a number of other labels. The entrance to Hunnicutt’s cellar room and cave entrance as viewed from their tasting room.

not a shy wine, but they aren't trying to do so on this, reminds of what The Prisoner use to be 15 yrs ago

Just a small blend of dry creek zin, kick ranch syrah, farella merlot, malbec, cab, and of course Pinot. Easy drinking wine for summer sipping. Baking spices come out in full force on opening but mellow out with some air
