Unlike most, I like fay more than slv. Alluvial soil here as opposed to volcanic there. I got this from the winery a couple weeks ago so impeccable storage assumed. Nose of blackberry jam. Palate is rich, raspberry, blackberry, purple fruit is by far dominating. I would have guessed new world, probably napa, but never over 13 years. Still has some years but I wouldn't hold too much longer. SLWC remains a favorite of mine on Silverado.

Needed a two hour decant. Terrific nose of black cherry, cassis, red cherry jam, raspberry, smoke, graphite, earth, red licorice, lipstick, flowers, and herbs. Tart cherry, black cherry, cassis, red cherry, earth, salt, minerals, licorice, and herbs on the palate. Mouth-watering acidity, moderately firm tannins, medium-long finish. Wow, the saltiness comes through the next day. Such a good wine, fresh and floral, fruity, salty, and minerally all together.

Beautiful wine. Well rounded. Dark ruby in color. Balck Currant on the nose. It still has some life, but is beautiful today.

Still nice wine but wound not hold any longer. Back end a bit harsh and lacking finish.

Completely missed the window. Oak and not much else.
