Napa Valley winery visits April 26: Brambly black cherry and leathery earth and wild dark berry aromas. Big black juicy fruit with hints of earth on the palate with firm grainy tannins along with a big finish. A fun wine that should develop more nuance and complexity. Very nice.

Dark ruby color, earthy nose with notes if mushroom and leather. Dark raspberry, tart cran notes, dry finish. Mellowing tannins.
