Day 3 in Napa in the books! Running a day behind on notes...Napa time runs slow AND fast!
Special wine. They are pulling fruit from below Arkenstone off Howell. Has everything Howell like in spades. It is dusty with chocolate, full of flavor from red, blue & black fruits, but has a special “mint” like Andes candy mint finish.

Deep ruby colored. Black fruit, cedar, Smokey oak on the nose. Blackberry, cassis, cherry, tobacco, cocoa. Nice semi dense mouthfeel. Well balanced. Softening tannins. Nice thorough finish. 30 min decant is a good place to start this one now.
