Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, USA
Cocoa-tastic. Silky, rich, and great for a meal. Had a bottle of this with my wife on our anniversary at Hannah's in Denton, TX. Great with Orange glazed Lamb rack and Chipotle Sweet Potatoes.

2014 with 7 years on it.
Nice color with a slight brick on the edges.
On the nose: eucalyptus, mint, green olive, Cocoa, baking spice (anise?) hint of strawberry.
On the palate: absolute cocoa bomb! Baking spices (anise & cinnamon), red fruit.
Short, but pleasant finish. Light tannins for the age. This wine was totally different than expected. I expected a typical, ripe and dusty Napa cab. This wine is intense and rich, yet still has finesse. Enjoyed with Teriyaki filet mignon kabobs. This would go well with a very lean piece of beef due to the light tannins. Very approachable when young, drink now!
