My trip to Napa, Part 1: The Prelude (San Francisco, CA): At first this was way too oaky, but over the course in an hour this showed an amazing transformation. Gorgeous yellow, nearly glowing, slightly cloudy. The nose moved from overt oak to butter-brickle. The front palate shows citrus fruit with a lemon bias, excellent acidity. The mid-palate is spicy and lush, mouthcoating, very long and seamless. Wow, what a nice surprise!
