A real blast from the past, a 40 year old wine made from 90 year old vines....gobbled up by Silver Oak in 2012, the wine is no longer being made. A full bodied wine for its time (14.2%abv), this is still tasting young, ripe but not overripe. Last bottle......New Year’s Day 2021.

Not the most complex birth year bottle I've had, but still very much alive. Sweet red fruit attack upfront, a bit raisiny on the finish, but in no way dried out. Would take this any day over what this vineyard has been replaced by. Tasted good tossed back with salami and cheese while at the summit of Mt. Diablo.
