2023 Napa in the City: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): Huge and intense and more of the style that one often thinks of when one thinks of Napa coming on the heels of a bunch of more restrained and lovely versions. This was a bit of whiplash.

Got a glass here now and the nose is effusive of floral and oak with a hint of menthol. The color is depicting a very young wine that seems to not age quickly. The palate is rich and decadent with sweet blac cherry, light chocolate, and very dark blackberry. The finish is chewy and last about 30 seconds. There is nothing to not like about this wine and it’s got a long way to go. In a line up with Lewis, Quilceda Creek, and Schrader, this wine stood out

Just a baby, but a big baby at that with many years to go. Will be happy to track this over the coming decade or two.

BYO Dinner (AOC): Lots of fruit but it lacks balance and does seems to be a little bit closed at the moment. Needs more time to open up.
