Mature, elegant, harmonious wine that has aged well. Distinctive tertiary notes in the wine give this a definite Old World personality despite having that classic core of fruit even restrained wines take on in Napa. I bet this was singing on its 20th Birthday.

Nice brambly old style Cali. Balanced and showing well. Delicious on the palate and finish.

Not exactly a stellar California vintage but this bottling is fairly impressive. Savvy varietal percentage blending and superior vineyard sources make the difference.

Surprisingly, a lot for fruit than the '84. Still pretty vibrant with some tannic structure
