What a great surprise was not sure what to expect my friend Scott recommended this on a trip to napa 6 years ago. Soft yet powerful nose jammy fruits. Like velvet on the toungue balanced smooth lingering finish

$85. Sampled at winery. No formal note. I was impressed by this rather monsterous wine. Made in a superconcentrated style, with notes of coffee and black fruit. Suave but substantial tannins. I can't wait to try this again when I can take more time with it...

Perfect. Just at it's peak. Lots of earth, tannins were soft and the wine was very approachable. Drink up. Would not wait any longer on this wine.
