  Friday Night Uptown Brown Bagger (R&D's): Double blind. Inky opaque color. Black currant, plum, mocha and brown sugar notes. Full-bodied, dominated by black fruit with plenty of barrel influence. No doubt a young CA cab sauv; could use a few years in the cellar to realize its full potential. (R&R)

  Napa and Sonoma (Hamel, Jewell, Reeve, Enriquez, Wren Hop, Phifer Pavitt, Gamble, Markham, Amulet, Pride Mountain, Pahlmeyer, Arrow&Branch, Fait-Main); 7/10/2023-7/14/2023 (Sonoma and Napa): Tasted at the winery. Bottle opened that morning before our arrival with no decanting. 100% cab. Deep purple color. Balanced with light tannin. More elegant than power. 15 months in oak. The best red served at the tasting IMO.

  Dfinately more of a carrot cake / baking spice / coco note to the nose. ANd very direct and powerful on the palate. And loads of structure as well. Loads. Like Barolo loads.
