Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose of black plums, currants, blackberries, licorice, light cedar, vanilla, toast, tobacco, chocolates, coffee and cola.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with blackberries, black currants, black plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light earth, herbs, spices, licorice, vanilla, cola, peppercorn, chocolates and dark coffee.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 12 year old red blend from Napa Valley is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
Complex, engaging and delicious after 60 minutes of airtime. I enjoyed the nose even more than the palate.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with BBQ Meats.
14.6% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$45.
