This was an honor to consume. Beautifully well made and preserved. Perfect cork, cigar box leather, dried herbs on the nose. Early tasting blew off with air to reveal elegant lush fruit still with some youthful flavors and integrated tannins, plenty of finish. Textbook what you would hope to enjoy in a 31 year old Napa cab. Intellectual and game changer for my opinion of older Napa cabs. Bravo to Ed Sbragia.

Pure and clean, extracted, cool climate acidity, dark blue and black fruits. Absolute joy to drink. Head turner.

I will say I’ve been supremely disappointed with this wine previously but am a burgundy neophyte. Today much better. Decant 3-4 hrs. Bricking, earthy notes fade to reveal tart but not too tart cherry fruits, medium plus acidity, integrated tannins. Interesting to me is the wine really put on weight with air and came to be medium to full bodied which was a pleasure for me. So i do prefer my new world RR pinots but this is an interesting progressive experience in the glass. Just tough being so patient with it.
