A dense monster. With first taste, it was too complex to pull apart. After an hour in a decanter it was still opening. Espresso, black cherry, chocolate, lavender. Finish lasted minutes.

2021 vintage. Oh Pritchard Hill! Medium-heavy body. Rich, full, plush and smooth without the overt, over the top, fruit-bomb markers usually at the ceremony. Really nice depth of field. Wanted some more structure but don’t think that’s in the cards these days with this style of Napa Cab. About as good as it gets for running without obvious nods and homage to what came before. 8.19.26.
