Picked this up at the winery today from their library. Elegant dark fruit and baking spice on the nose. Blueberry, currants and some earthiness on the palate. Tannins are sleek and elegant yet I think there is some room for them to get even better. The finish is long and bold with a really nice peppery note and some acidity. The second vintage of this wine where Steve Reynolds and 3 partners decided to make a Bordeaux blend of one ton of the best grapes they could get from each of the 13 appellations in Napa at that time. An experiment that turned out outstanding in my opinion.

Aged well, a little spice for a cab blend but deep with a tint of Smokey, a blend of the 13 appellations in 2003, being able to combine all these regions into 1 blend I always give this winemaker team a ton of credit. Really enjoyed.
