Table For Four Napa Valley Red Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
And Yes! There she was, where have you been hiding??? Always great to run in a near perfect wine. That is what we live for, searching every day (actually every other day, try not to drink wine every day 😊). Bold dark fruit framed by angular tannins and a robust backbone, all in an extreme intense harmony, taking over your senses and putting you in a hypnotic trance. We set the palette with a few different hard cheeses, an aged Gouda cheese, a Harvarti and P’tit Basque (all at Costco!) which lifted the wine to outer orbit. I am writing this the next day and still haven’t quite returned to earth.

Nov 4th, 2022Coravinned a glass of this. This is a dark and inky wine with a really nice bouquet that rolled out of the glass while pouring. Could smell violets, black and blue fruit. Entry is dark and rather full bodied. There was a roasted black and blue character to this one. Almost a cinnamon and pie spice in the middle and a purple character to the finish. If served blind, I might have called this a cab with some PS or 10-20 percent Malbec because it has that kind of character. Finishes with some toasted chewy cedar tannins but if tasted a couple of years ago it probably would have been more astringent. Very enjoyable wine.
