Stewed black currants, sweet plum sauce. Sweet entry with mid palate lacking a bit. Acid medium. Extracted with heavy dose of oak treatment and a little hint of alcohol.

This was one if my favorite wineries when I visited Napa. Bold and deep rich flavors. I am never disappointed year after year.

Strong aromas of blackberry preserves, milk chocolate, and cinnamon with hints of nutmeg and lavender. Smooth finish on the palette that leaves the mouth tasting of blackberry pie. Accompanies hearty beef stew beautifully.
