Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

95 Points

Sunday, March 17, 2024 - My last bottle of my 2nd stash of this one, wanted to share one with HMC.....haven't gone into my 3rd stash yet.

Decanted 2+ hours and enjoyed over 3+ more with HMC and Carol. All the notes of my last bottle, maybe just a point less. This one came into balance much earlier on and settled in its 95 point slot quickly before fading a point at the end.

Stewed fruit initially, gone within an hour or two of air and replaced by complexity on the nose and palate. Great cab franc elements (62%) blended with the cab sav (38%). Consistent results within a point or so from bottle to bottle and lot to lot. One of my fav blends in all of Napa.
