Beautiful, plush floral, red beckstoffer-like fruit. Maraschino cherry. Tahitian vanilla bean. Cinnamon, fruit cake, heady. So complex, yet so palatable.

Updating some tasting notes from my recent trip to Napa.

Always been quite fond of this wine. Meaty and complex. Pairs wonderfully with a nice steak.
