Napa Valley, California, USA
The 09 still needs another 5 years to be all it can be. Even after an hour decant, it was better but it still needs time to resolve. The fruits are; blueberries, baked blackberry pie, black plum. There's some black licorice, a slight tar quality, dry crushed minerals and baking spices. The tannins are taunt and dry on the finish.

This wine drinks hot 🔥. Sourced from 3 vineyards in Calistoga, Pope Valley & St. Helena. Intense dark & concentrated fruit, blackberry jam, cedar & toasted spices. Big tannins & full mouthfeel.
