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.

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

Certain wines, like certain music, remind you of times and people. This is one of those. A friend I don't get to see much anymore gave me this bottle a few years ago, and even had this been a lousy bottle, drinking it would have made me happy. However, this was anything but a lousy bottle. At or near its peak, enough fruit remaining to balance the considerable tannins. Leathery and smoky.
