Again, like the 14 Merlot, but not quite as much so, blue fruit oriented aromas. Palate shows lots of concentration, quite a bit of dissolved solids-style concentration. 80% new french oak for 20m.
New Winemaker here - Landon took over from Celia Welch in 2015. more savory wines, not as much boardering-on-RS.

Dream Big - Discover California Wine Tasting (Stockholm, Gamla Riksarkivet (old government archives building) March 2019): AAAARRGHH. The one table I had my mind set on and by the time I got there, all the wine was finished, except for the 2016 Cab, which was so nice. Really lovely and a perfect example of when the Napa fruit shows it's really world class. Complex, for sure this is a big wine, but beautifully balanced and drinkable already now. I think this could go for twenty years and be even better. Highly Recommended.

Dream Big - California Wine Tasting (Stockholm, Sweden): Sweet fruit, coffee, cocoa, blackberries, tobacco, massive body, thick, tannic, heat in the aftertaste.
