Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Saturday, February 24, 2024 - Decanted 90 minutes before service. In the glass, saturated magenta at the rim, shading immediately to black at the core. On the nose, currants with a secondary note of plums. On the palate, more currants, chocolate, and coffee, with a soft, lush texture leading to the mid-palate, where tannins make a tentative appearance before asserting themselves on a long, enamel-staining finish. I can imagine another 5-10 years of cellar time ahead, but if you like that pure Napa fruit, no reason not to open one now.
