Gandona
Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark ruby. Ripe, yet subtle red fruit up front. Dense and slightly chalky tannins. The 15+% alcohol clearly noticed. Nice minerality, oak. Beautifully balanced. Great mouthfeel. Long finish.

May 15th, 2023Decanted first 2+ hours, opened up tremendously. Wonderful wine. I just purple, fine legs. Raspberry nose. Beautifully balanced. Mild earth flavors, mild but not ripe red fruit. Drinks beautifully. Long finish. Perfectly balanced.

Dark, fountain pen ink inky - aromas of grandma’s blueberry cobbler, menthol & that unique Pritchard Hill mountain sage linger just under the rim – added flavors of graphite and a hint of spice roll along the tastebuds.
Solid mouthfeel and a lingering finish that lasted 60 seconds – like a curtain call with your favorite band - an hour in it opened up nicely – tannins tight prior to that, but continued to smooth out with a hint of tangy raspberry on the palette. – the influence of Melka is noted in this fine example of higher elevation Napa Valley cab.
Paired with some Georgia Florida college football (Georgia won) – just received my allocation and had to try this one – it did not disappoint, made me smile and I’m glad I have more to bust out.
100% cabernet sauvigion, estate grown – 15.5% alc. - 400 cases - $265

Decanted for about 2 1/2 hours. Really opened up. This is a gorgeous Pritchard Hill wine.
