Bright ruby red. Dark nose with anise, plums, dark cherries and minerality. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodied. Notes of black cherries, a touch cassis and crushed rocks. Medium plus to long finish. Great for only $41.00 at Barcelona.

Always a treat to dig into the history of old school Napa Valley Cabs.

First wine in a fun little vertical (1981-84) to share with European palates.
Old Napa should be proud. VERY proud!!

Tastes like a mushroom extraction, intense, furry green tannins, tangy acidity. Faint smokey vanilla in the right way.

At age 33 this girl is still not letting you down.
Another great example of old style Napa Valley Cab aging beautifully.
