Very berry notes of strawberry, raspberry, and dark cherry. Stone minerality notes with licorice and a tartness. Smooth with a nice finish. β 9 months ago

Founded in 1982 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer and sits on a tree covered knoll overlooking the Napa Valley, with caves that extend for over a mile. Pale lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruit, sweet oak, spice and floral scents. On the palate flavors of ripe peach, melon and apple, with vanilla spice, creamy texture. Medium+ finish, well balanced with acidity, ending with mineral notes. β 3 months ago
Very good but somehow not as great as I remembered. Maybe what we drank before tainted it. Maybe it went a little long in bottle. β 9 months ago

That nose, like cherry jolly ranchers mixed with crushed stones and tree bark. Orange peels. Almost Tamarind paste. Burgundian, but as so many have said, very Germanic. This, opening a β19 could be infanticide, but rewards are apparent. After driving to and fro for 4 hrs. Through early changing leaves it feels perfect. And on the palate itβs as if weightless, expansive, brown-and red fruit commingling. Tart, but mouthwatering so, not prickly or tannic.
Delightful wine.
