Friday, November 12, 2021 - Delicious. I wouldn’t call this a great value generally, but very good by Napa Valley standards. It’s similar to Buehler in that regard. This is from Carneros so it’s more a restrained, fresher style and not really for those who prefer a more bombastic style. The oak is there (40% new), but not overpowering at all. This could age for a decade, but I bought it to drink, not cellar, and it was ready to go after a decant. 90% CS, 10% CF, 1% each of PV and Malbec. We served with a charcuterie board and this wine made everyone happy, which makes me happy.
