September BYO (Ole Johan): Dark red without any transition. Nose with sweet oak, dark fruit, and some toast. The palate has concentrated and prominent dark fruit, with hints of mint and fruit syrup. The wine feels young and alive and probably has many good years ahead of it.

90 minute decant. Nose of dark walnut wood, chocolate and black fig. Cassis and black cherry with minerals, acidity, and loads of stones, iron ore, and graphite. Granite guides the finish of dry black fruit, prominent but narrow tannins, dried basil and a hint of bell pepper. True to the old school Napa style, though I expected a bit more complexity.

Very delicious. Not overpowering nor too much oak.

Perhaps a little muted compared to other vintages. Good but not great.
