Day 2 of Napa in the books!

The flagship offering from DA. 100% estate cab. Lots of similarities to the Old Vine Cab, but less spice and more sweetness. Would love to open one of these next to a Chappellet PH cab for comparison sake. Undoubtedly red and black fruit dominant with powerful and sweet oak. There is dark chocolate covered black cherries, fresh squeezed blackberries and underripe plum. Almost velvet like on the palate at this age. Needs time, of course, to fulfill its really nice potential.

Took a while to open up but then Pritchard hill came through and took my breath away! Think it was too cold when we opened the bottle - this one needs a decant!

Good but not great ! It’s Pritchard Hill cousin , Tor may have overshadowed it. Could use some years and at least some more decanting .
