Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 1, 2022 - There’s a cool breeze on a warm mid-summer day blowing out of the glass as you approach it. Concentrated and dense packed with detailed flavors. Lead, iodine and graphite build a deeply mineral backbone supporting the potpourri of blue and dark fruit. Black currant confit, bramble berry, blueberry, among others. Then black coffee, black chocolate as well as a floral overlay. This is sprinkled with sweet spices and vanilla. Perfect delineation. The palate is incredibly softly textured, harmonious with a strong yet humble structure. The versatility is off the charts with various phases including a sweet and jammy fruit, intense coffee expression and a mineral stage. This is without a doubt one the best Napa’s I’ve ever head with a stunning, weightless palate, myriad of detailed aromas coupled with pure hedonistic pleasure.
