Deep garnet red with some slight bricking on the edges. A little dirty on the nose with some dark berries, damp forest floor and dusty. Moderate tannins (7/10) that are well integrated with both dark and red cherries, maybe even some cherry liquor. Nice backbone and complexity mixing around, some minerality and very light greenery. Full bodied and smooth long finish. Drink till 2024.

KWN3: big and plummy and big tannin. A little too much acid on the finish but solid structure. Lots of life left.

KWN #3. Big and bold. Loads of blackberry and plum. Lots of plum. Huge tannins. Enjoyable now but also built to age.

Decent wine in a great year. Starts out nice, cola, blackberry, tar but fades fast. No way this lasts another 10-15 years.

Popped, poured and tasty from beginning to end. Nothing complicated just a steady Napa blend.
