Always love tasting the interesting concoctions from Premiere Napa Valley auction. This one was particularly well balanced with the smooth and sometimes slutty fruit from the doctor being balanced by the tannin and acid from Oakville ranch. A great blend they make here. Opened up quite nicely throughout the dinner as well.

PHILLY CT GATHERING - DR CRANE This was a terrific bottle of wine, and likely tied for WOTN, in my humble opinion. A blend of cabs from both Dr Crane and Oakville Ranch. Nice mix of black and red fruits, terrific texture and mouthfeel capped by an amazing finish of cedar, scorched earth, and tobacco.
Echo Frankenberry's notes here. Excellent structure and balance. Almost transitioning to secondary phase but the fruit still shines. There was not much left of this at the end of the night!
