Wine Spectator 40th Anniversary; 10/21/2021-10/23/2021 (Marriott Marquis): Napa cabernet for sure but with some balance to the fruit. There's a bit of baking spice here too that helps keep the fruit more in check. Very big tannins. It's one of those wines where the flavor becomes almost all tannin right at the end and then it just dissapates a bit. From a vineyard in the Stags Leap region.

NYWE Big aromas of dark extracted violets. Dark firm black cherry & plum vibrant fruits. Nice depth and mouthwatering acidity & mineral. Well made and friendly, iron fist in velvet glove. Gobs of rich fruit and intense bright structure made to last and improve. Quite good.
Wappo Stags Leap - rocky soil, foggy, near by Realm Moonracer. 2018 long slow ripening year. Near perfect conditions. 250 cases.
