I found this bottle stashed away in one of my chillers. I had thought I had finished off the last of this a while ago. This wine is still drinking great even at 15 years. A testament to this producer! So a happy night enjoying this wine. I have reviewed before so I will not bore you again. #clifflede #napavalley #stagsleapdistrict #claret #redblend

This is a wine that has aged gracefully, the quality shows and time has made it graceful and elegant to drink. Well balanced and very smooth. The dark fruits are still defined and finish nicely.

2003 near peak, still some tannins. Blackcurrants, maybe a little cassis, a hint of cedar. Not bad for a lesser Napa Cab, did get a bitter note after open an hour.
