Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 1, 2023 - 2016 Napa Cults Blind - and a few Champs and such for fun: This was the first wine in the tasting that seemed less uptight and unyielding. Here, a plushness and savoriness shows. A bit fruity at first, but with a textual seamlessness that seems to indicate a top tier specimen. The overall profile is fairly simple at first, but a healthy injection of O2 pushes out complexity and layered flavoring. Purple and black fruited (possibly the Vice Versa M7? – WRONG again lame-o), this picks up speed and rises to the top level of performance when compared to its peers in the lineup. One of the favorites of the group. With a few hours of open air, this could be opened even now, but wiser minds recommend holding for another 3-4 years. A top wine.
