Slightly underipe and vegetal at first... but not offensive and it blows off. I suspect this will integrate nicely with age. Good now nonetheless.

Nice way to start the weekend! Good memories of a visit to Napa. Balanced, not very tannic, fruit undertones

A little earthy for me, spice and dry wood. Nice but not my style.
