Having been to Napa many times, this is undoubtedly one of the best/most impressive winery tours out of all the ones we’ve done. So much so that we’ve gone back for a total of three visits.
After many visits, you start to pick up a scent from their caves...like menthol wrapped green peppercorn...and that’s exactly what is going on here. Extremely old world in style (left bank in a cool vintage) with a flair of new world. Aside from the methol and green peppercorn, there is fig and ripe rhubarb aromatically. On the palate it has nice weight at this age and seems to be drinking at peak. All things working in harmony. Bay leaf, fondue dipped dark fruits, mocha and black cherry skin towards the finish. I’d enjoy these sooner rather than later.
