Napa Valley, California, USA
I bought half a case of the 17, since the price and quality didn’t exceed my pain threshold. Very extracted and dense. You can certainly taste the fault lines in the vintage, but they are in the background.
Saluting those men and women who paid the ultimate price, and those who serve, or have served. Thank you one and all.

Nose displays strawberries, cherries and autumn leaves. Palate is dense and structured. Loads of cinnamon and star anise on the mid palate. Good complexity with a long finish

Dark glass-clinging purple. Dark fruit and ash on the nose. Voluptuous full body on the palate which gives blackberry, tarry blueberry, and ashen vanilla. Fine medium tannins. Medium minus acidity. Serve with a a well rubbed steak and aromatic vegetables. This stuff sings. But drink by 2022.

I cannot tell if the wildfires affected this or I’m just tasting smoke. So yeah Smokey and dusty with some underripe fruit. Green persimmon and slight butter tones. Not my favorite but they worked with what they had.
