Jun 27th, 2019Pronounced dark fruit- somewhat like a dark berry compote, but not too “jammy”. Subtle vanilla from restrained oak, violets,both red and black licorice, with firm but approachable tannins. Everything about the wine says “Napa”, but in a nicely balanced way. It should cellar nicely for a few years and it was quite good with steak and sautéed kale.
