Shows SB as dominant fruit. Rich and ripe citrus - especially grapefruit - and some stone fruit - apricot and lychee. Palate remarkably acidic, but still ripe with nice mineral. Held up nicely - fresh and fruit driven still - has hardly aged, it seems. Only sign is a bit of almond on finish. Seems a tad hot.

Randy and Steve visit Cleveland (Napa vs. Bordeaux) (Colonial): Very pale yellow-green in color. The nose is nice with lemons, clay and minerals. Good attack with some nice grapefruit but that fades and the mid-palate is a bit hollow and the finish a bit clipped. Not completely as there is some fruit all of the way. It has just the slightest perception of sweetness to it. Seems in a good place right now.
