Really oaky! We barrel tasted this in Napa and loved it. The Oak was so pronounced, I could never find the fruit. It was a gorgeous color and a nice wine but a bit over-oaked for my liking.

Barrel Sample. The most similar tasting barrel sample to the '03 finished product. Uses alternating staves from the 9 French Forests which blend the spice characteristics to more closely resemble the blended finished products.
