The very 1st vintage for the winery. This is the "unfined" which essentially is the Reserve bottling. Cedary, dried currants smoke and fruit cake. Delicious and amazing for a nearly 50 year old wine!

This wine was singularly amazing! The color was still vibrant the acid bright, the tannins silky, and the aromatics and flavors of iron, earth, truffles, and sweet spice sublime!!! 1969 vintage!

1971 vintage. Interesting visit after a monster string from 1968-1970 of classic, old-school Napa vintages. Decanted and throwing the expected ton of sed with decent color. Cork much better than expected and in great shape. Tasted immediately and after an hour post-decant. Still medium-bodied. Some spearmint hovering in the high nose. Solid. Unified. Initial milk chocolate mid-palate uptake transitioning to baking chocolate. Good, finishing thrust. Enough stuffing to hang out by the water cooler for the next 4-5 years with the same, repackaged gossip. 10.15.23.
