Guilty pleasure, black fruit driven jammy yet nice acidity. Perfect for the top sirloin tonight indeed!

First time experience with Biale. Extreme elegance and approachability. Love the texture and fruit. Tannins were light and incorporated, consistent with the rest of its style.

Vines planted in 1886. Grown at 1000 ft elevation with pretty harsh botrytis pressure. Iron rich soils and crazy slopes for 300 acres. Also a bit of Semillon and
Cabernet in there too.
Aged on 25% new oak. Burnt rubber and blueberry pie. A very expressive Napa wine, but not entirely my jazz.

Blackberries, blueberries, pepper, smoke, hint of vanilla. Very nice. Will check back in in a year or two.
