Deep inky purple with traces of little blue highlights. A big fat nose of coffee beans, Kools, and dark chocolate. The red and blue fruits take over, along with faded violets. This is another one of these Napa blends and all the requisite Napa blend shenanigans come with it. As young as it is, this is probably right around peak drinking time. Very, very clean and fruit driven, there’s not a speck of dirt or funk anywhere near this thing. Which is fine, this aims for smooth and polished and achieves that. Medium body, medium acidity, medium pleasure. A well integrated and balanced pour for sure. More cherries than you can shake a stick at, cloves, and lavender on the palate. A nice, pleasant wine. Nothing more nothing less.
