April 30, 2021 - 3 days in Napa: Arkenstone, Memento Mori, Maxem, The French Laundry, Christopher Tynan, Kinsman, Harlan, Vice Versa, Accendo, Fairchild, Macdonald, and a truckload of others (Napa): Bright red mountain fruit, with beaming acidity that makes for a fresh and brightly styled profile. Finishes with a cedar-meets-spice flavor that dries the back of the palate and keeps the fruit from becoming to overpowering. There is a controlled grace that brings everything into focus. A redder fruit presentation, though with air the core becomes saturated with additional purple berry characteristics. A classical style with a flair for modernity. Beautifully crafted. Give this 3-5 years in bottle before popping corks. A wine made for food. (think stinky cheeses, fatty steaks, or a fistful of soppressata).
