Twenty seven years. Where did the time go - i remember getting this wine at the winery. It’s definitely well past it’s prime - but you can pick up echoes of what it was. Still some red fruit, black cherry and wood notes along with lots of oxidative aromas of olive abd forest floor. But alas the structure is gone and the fruit is well faded. The mouthfeel is silky smooth, but this is well past it’s time.

An enjoyable wine especially given its 20 years of age. This is the kind of wine you want to open, enjoy with friends and food and not spend too much time dwelling on it. Sufficient fruit, density, fullness in the mouth and length to make you stop and say, nice wine... now, what were we talking about? I could invent other things to say about its berries, redolent of the vineyard proximity to Route 29, but come on, who really cares....shut up and drink up!

Deep garnet color. Blood orange, a hint of vanilla, red fruit on the nose. Tannic citrus and raspberry notes. It has held up well.

A very nice aged Napa cabernet. Herbs and hints of mint with dark fruits and a solid finish.
