Napa Valley, California, USA
First time trying this wine and HIGH expectations. Hit it with oxygen from winepro2 to start. On the nose, it just smells dark and brooding. First sip. Wild blueberries and I mean wild. Like right out of the forest. Good juiciness but also some grip and spicyness. I originally thought tobacco or bramble or even just I can taste the woods. My wife said it was spicy and had a kick. I thought it was super smooth. Did not notice the oak at all. Very fragrant with blue and dark fruits. Very dense. I almost couldn’t taste the seasoning of the food as if the wine overpowered the food. Kinda wild. Overall enjoyed this and was easy to drink

This should have been a blind tasting since the brain is biased against the 2020!
