April 12, 2022 - Napa Trip - Trying new wines and meeting new people; 4/11/2022-4/12/2022 (Napa): Very similar to the '16 but I preferred the '17 more as the fruits were a bit more giving on the nose and on the palate. Seemed to be more accessible now than the '16 at the time. The dense thicket and wild undergrowth gets chopped down a few layers which really allows you to enjoy more of the fruit, earth and minerals more. Something about the '17 vintage.. it's not bad at all and quite tasty now!

April 12, 2022 - Spring 2022 Dream Napa Trip; 4/11/2022-4/12/2022: The 17’ felt more approachable than the 16’ today and felt more “Napa” than its bigger 16’ sibling. I preferred this over the 16’ today, but the 16’ will most likely come out the victor long term. On the nose, I get a strong sense of earth, ground coffee, spices with an underlying fruit component.
