  We drank this along with a 2018 for comparison. 2015 much more rounded (as expected). Nice integration of berries. Round on the palate. Excellent.

  Last stop on our fourth day in Napa Valley is Caldwell Vineyards in Coombsville. Seventh wine is their Rocket Science Blend, which is made up of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Syrah, 16% Pinot Noir, 10% Cabernet Franc, 9% Tannat and 7% Malbec from the Caldwell Estate Vineyard in Coombsville. Aged for 20 months in 96% French oak and 4% Stainless steel of which 87% is new. 603 cases produced.
  
  Medium ruby red in appearance. Medium intensity on the nose with cinnamon, vanilla and blackberries. Medium tannins (5.5/10) with a medium to medium plus body. Spicy on the palate too with some black fruits and anise. Medium plus length finish. Drink till 2024.
