Mountain goodness. Lots of fun secondary flavors surface at 38.....roasted mushroom, forest floor, tar. But a substantial amount of integrated fruit and tannic backbone should give this 5-10 more years.

1980 Mayacamas - a Fading but still intriguing old school Napa cabernet.

Big jewel in a little bottle. Impeccable condition & testament to just how insanely good old Cali cab can be. @Jimmy Hayes I want so much more of this!

Boom. Perfect time to drink this. Hints of green, with a touch of dark, sweet fruit and faded tannins.
