  Gift of a partial bottle from my Oenophile neighbor. Served with BBQ Pulled-pork. Another Quality wine from a California Napa Valley winery.
  
  Dark Ruby-red on the pour and in the glass. Heavenly aroma of Blackberry and Dark red fruit on the nose. Dark Cherry with raspberry and cassis on the palate, along with some earth/bramble. Smooth, yet intense, flavor with ample tannins providing a little pucker and slightly fuzzy tooth feel. Full, round, mouth feel, hint of pepper. Nice acidity for a pleasant, lingering, slightly minerally finish. An Elegant Wine!
