+1 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). A remarkable dark ruby red color. On the nose: subdued notes of dark fruit, floral, menthol, loamy soil, tobacco leaf. Taste: silky,smooth wine with dark plum/cherry, dark chocolate, dried herbs, crushed rocks, and a cedar tobacco medium plus little astringent finish.

We had the 2015 Vintage on 5/11-12/25. Scents and tastes of blackberry, blueberry, plum and cassis. Some mocha. A terrific Napa floor wine. Fruit forward, full bodied.

Great vintage for this. Sweet overripe black fruit. Fine tannins.

Savory nose. Crushed violet and charcuteries, classic and classy Napa wine.
