Spottswoode did not disappoint tonight. Still going strong with the black fruit you would hope and the mature notes as well. Still quite rich with a beautiful, velvety mouthfeel. Not trying to be Bordeaux but showing what a balanced Napa Cab can be at 25 years. Could probably go another 5+ but why wait?

Right in the sweet spot. This is why we age wines. A touch ungiving on the nose to begin but beautiful dark cherry and blackberry fruit hit the palate right away. Some vegetal notes and dried fruit rounded it out with a little earthiness. I will drink my last bottle within the year but I expect leaving this for another 3-5 years won't hurt.

This Merlot forward blend came out firing today. Beautiful velvety texture with dark cherry and blackberry fruit and a nice earthy edge as one would hope. In a really nice spot right now with a little forest floor and dried fruit just starting to emerge. Great pairing with a grilled ribeye.
