March 21, 2020 - This outstanding 2015 is playing the white keys, the black keys, and the cracks right now! It's playing with everything it's got.
Blueberry, dark cherry, and spice with an incredibly long finish that has shed its tartness in favor of a completely balanced and smooth delivery. I love trying all sorts of wines from the world over, but when I open a Vice Versa, it's like coming home.2 people found this helpful 7,848 views

And "..when I open Vice Versa, it's like coming home." Wow. I can't ask for anything more. Thank you.
The 2015 is one of my favorite vintages for this wine. So pure, seamless, silky, complete and well balanced. Very legato. Zen.
Be safe & stay healthy!

With a billion people now at home, kinda made sense to drink a wine I felt like coming home to. I'm no musician and my tasting notes can get exuberant and emotional at times to the point that I can imagine there are some readers yelling at their computers for me to just stick to the facts, lol. Oh well, wines such as yours are emotional which brings it out in me. Given the string of bad luck and hard times in Napa for growers and producers, I'm glad to learn that you and Samantha have received some good vibes here all the way from Michigan, and deservedly so! Cheers and good health!
