@Mark Flesher opened this in honor of me visiting them in just about 3 weeks on my yearly trip to Napa. I’m stoked about tasting through Cimarossa wines at the top of Howell Mtn!
This was pop and poured and even at 10yrs, it needs a healthy decant. It evolved to show a lot of black cherry, a mix of plum and pomegranate on the palate, but was super dark in the glass! The finish had a smokiness and meat dominant note. It wasn’t a fruit bomb, nor was it savory. It was a perfect harmony of both. Better yet? It still tastes almost like a new release! Years to go.

Blackberry and some savory notes with a hint of camphor or menthol on the nose. Dark fruits - black cherry and blackberry dominate the palate - not jammy at all - just fruitful. Medium bodied with soft tannins. Better the second hour so give this some air/time to breathe.
