This was originally started as a vanity effort by a woman from Texas who wanted to make wine in Napa and had the money to do it. But she ended up doing it quite well and this was one of her better efforts. All tannins resolved now with very elegant fruit and a long finish. Very nice wine.

Opened prior to our NYE dinner at an Italian restaurant in Santa Rosa. It was a little acidic at first (no time for decanting) and got much better after the meal arrive. Solid wine.
PS: I don’t know what those prior reviewers are smoking! “Two hours decant…” The bottle itself says on the back to open the wine one hour prior consumption, it does NOT recommend decanting. And a 14 years old wine should never be decanted for such long time (with very few exceptions).

This hidden gem is singing now, ready to go with just a 10-20 min decant or opening around one hour before consumption.
We took this bottle to our Christmas Dinner at Bistro Jeanty in Napa. The wine has a medium plus body, firm tannin and acidity, sweet berries and tingling finish.
I love it!

Popes and poured. Needed a decant or more time, but lovely. Cheers Joan and Walter!
