Rich, delicious bright strawberry fruit with blood orange and mushroom flavors, excellent structure, ample acidity and finish, still young but a gorgeous wine

Epic Napa Trip - Day 1: Tasted at Occidental - This wine is new to the lineup at Occidental. It tasted the youngest and had the most acidity. It was tasty, with plenty of red fruit, some minerality and a ton of acidity. I feel this will be a good addition to their stable. Reminds me a young vine Elizabeth. 90 points if rating today, higher score down the road....will be interesting to see how this integrates down the road!

Nice fruit structure. Light to medium bodied. But had a racy acid finish that was a little too tart. Hopefully it mellows with some time.

Napa trip day 1: Drank a small glass over one hour at the winery. Intense fruit aromas, fairly straight forward. Clearly young.
