Popped and poured; enjoyed out of red Solo cups over the course of a few hours. The 1993 “Gravelly Meadow” pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes o ripe and desiccate fruit: cassis, blackberries, dried red flowers, tobacco, eucalyptus, Poblano pepper, leather, cocoa, graphite, a mix of organic and inorganic earth along with some cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This was strong showing. Drink now through 2033. — 2 months ago

Opened quickly without decanting. Was even bolder after an hour. Fruit forward with earth tones and sweet berries. Smooth on the back end! — 2 months ago

Excellent qpr! Upon opening, it’s somewhat subdued but half an hour later, wow! What happened?! And with food, roasted red meats, hard cheeses, grilled vegetables, it really comes alive! This is as good or better than cabs costing 2-3 times as much. Great daily drinker!! — 4 months ago

Magnum. PnP. Dark red color. Dark cherries and leather on the nose. Fairly sweet wine with the fruit more prevalent than anything else. Medium plus depth and medium minus finish. Good BBQ pairing. — 6 months ago

It is so open for business right now. A prime example of Napa old school. Dark fruit and resolved tannins. — a month ago
