This has definitely peaked. Deep ruby. Ample bouquet of cherries, plums, and dried and wet foliage. Broad, full bodied, and fully integrated. Turns richer in the glass, picking up a raisiny richness, and showing a hint of oxidation on the red berry finish.

Brick with a red rim. Nose of Oak, forest floor, licorice. Palette of cherries plum with a hint of chocolate and typical Napa terror. medium body, long finish.

My first wine from this producer. Fully mature and very smooth, with dark berries and plum over the first 2+ hours. By hour 3, it begins to lose its balance, showing more alcohol and turning slightly raisined. A nice wine but not one I'd hold much longer.

Peaking now or slightly past it's prime. Red berry and resolved tannins on the palate. Finishes with a slight oxidation.
