We opened this after the 93 Dunn with the hope of another spectacular wine. It didn’t quite live up. Pretty wine, but fell apart mid-palate before it’s tannins reappeared at the finish.

An amazing fruit source - but it is on a waning cycle. Fruit is soft and acid is a bit flabby.

Yet another Napa Quake survivor. Probably my favorite winery and wine (really the Cabernet Franc) this old friend (was going to gal, but trying stay under the radar) held up just fine. @LaJotaVineyards
