Napa elegance present in this wine. Bought on release and cellared until the cork was pulled tonight, 9/26/2020. Looking for a structured red wine to put alongside NYT Beef Bourgogne recipe combined with an itch for something in the realm of Napa Cabernet.
Stag’s Leap (SVL particularly) in the 10-20 year window seems to be my sweet spot.
This wine (13.5% abv) and others I’ve drank across this range find a lighter elegance when aligned with heavier foods or on their own.
Very autumnal in this wine’s flavor - fallen leaves, damp earth, savory mushrooms, cranberry, dried cherry & pomegranate
