Community Tasting Note

  • RockinCabs wrote: 95 points

    November 12, 2021 - Nose: Blackberry, cedar, redwood, plum skin and cherry. There is a furniture policy and roasted herb element I like here too. Palate: Enters with slightly sharp acidity, but equally rip dark fruit and ceqdar. Lots of loam and pl to enjoy. Finish: Nice plum and berry. Touch of eucalyptus and sandalwood.

    Classic old school napa. You could taste the redwood elements here.
