  Nose reminds me of a Pride, cool blue fruit with some pencil shavings. Gorgeous blackberry fruit, definitely on the cool dark fruit profile, with pie lard, baking spice, fat, vanilla and crème brûlée. Enough acidity and structure to hold everything in place. This is really in a nice place with plenty of primary fruit shining through. Nice long, building, drying finish with grip and persistence. Lovely Napa example, unmistakably Napa Valley.
