Bursting with fruit- almost felt a little out of balance vs other ‘90s Napa and other bottles of this I’ve had. Still very good!

Many of these pre 1998 vintages were picked around 23 to 23.5. Not ripe by today's standards but balanced, food friendly wines that aged beautifully... The 95 is incredible. Higher in acid than the 94 or 96 with great structure. This wine is drinking beautiful now...

Jun 19th, 2017Stunning. Leather, earth, with violets and potpourri on the nose. Lots of fruit here, though hard to identify. I'd say cassis and both red and blue berries. Olives. Tannins are full and velvety and acidity still balances it nicely. It's one of those power and finesse wines. Great with food and enjoyable on it's own.

Quiet elegance to the mouthfeel, but aromatically gone and the color is starting to go.

Beautiful leather, forest floor, mushroom notes with a touch of Bret. Dried cherry, licorice, old potpourri. Still structured and beautifully balanced.

Paired wonderfully with bacon wrapped top sirloin and the outlaw Josie Wales.
