One of the rare estates that made and released a 2020, Somnium must have been very lucky. This was a vintage that was looking amazing until the Glass fire broke out and devastated Napa valley. Choking smoke left many grapes tainted and worthless. But Somnium apparently harvested some fruit early and bottled a very appealing 2020.
Opened two hours ago:
Dark, with a lot of baby fat, the 2020 is very aromatic and very appealing. I get cassis and blueberries, hints of menthol, freshly baked brioche, pastry cream. Richly flavorful with a distinctive black olive tapenade note, long, soft tannins. I would drink this now and over the next eight to ten years.
