Napa Valley, California, USA
One of our fave Napa cabs. Also, no longer produced...
It’s begun to decay, so drink up if you have em. Lovely oak treatment, and ethereal balance.

Very interesting all around. Never would have thought that was from Napa. Medium garnet red. A bit herbal and minty on the nose as well as some underripe cherries and menthol. Medium bodied with medium tannins (5.5/10). A bit of a spicy bite in the palate with red berries and anise. A bit harsh too with the acidity. Medium length finish. Not sure on how long to keep this around.

Apr 21st, 2019I shit you not... this is a stellar. Not moved an inch from when it was bottled. Smoke, fruits vanilla on the nose. Tannins are soft, buttressed with playful acidity. Consistent notes on the palette. No leather or herbs in sight, but lots of minerals. Glad we are enjoying this at its peak.

As expected. Big lush fruit but not over-ripe. Chewy with tons of toasted oak / espresso. Touch of menthol / graphite. Etoh surprisingly in check.
