Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 6, 2020 - always a delicious bottling from FA. This is full bodied with intense extraction of flavor and color, yet remains in pretty good balance.
This bordeaux style blend with perhaps a little too much Petit Verdot ( a grape I loathe) is unaplogetically Napa. The winemaker notes suggests a 20-25 year life which seems a little ambitious considering the moderate level of tannins.
I think if they had reduced the PV percentage down by half, it wouldn't come off with that super saturated "murkiness" that it didn't need in the first place. This pairs well with steak and other red meat dishes.
89-92
