Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California, USA
This is still very young. Lots of lush, ruby fruits of; blackberries, black plum, black raspberries. Tons of barrel notes; wood shavings, charcoal, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, strong, dark spices, caramel, mocha. Meaty, tarry, velvety tannins, dusty soil, volcanic ash, some lead pencil, purple flowers- lavender, violets, nice round acidity. Long, well structured, still big tension but balanced finish. Needs another 6 years of evolution for me. But, nice bottle friends opened. $36 on Last Bottle…over delivers that price now and will even more in six years.

Jul 3rd, 2021That’s how I like my Napa cabs. Sturdy but not face-blasting. Good lift, fresh, bright, fine dusty tannins. Fruit has some idiosyncratic, site-specific flair. Very tasty.

Green pepper on the nose, deep thick ruby color, light oak on the mouth, not overwhelming pepper on the palate. Truly enjoyable cab that presents big and finishes easy and lovely!
