A wonderful young Napa cab with ultra-fine tannins that go on for minutes. Lots of licorice mint and blackcurrant character. Medium to full body. Reserve and refined finish. Better in 2018.
jsIt's a new day for this producer which is stepping slightly off the gas to make more nuanced balanced wines. This is no exception: a restrained offering of earthy mushroom soy cedar leather and juicy red fruit that disentangles itself from oak and tannin to stay fresh in the glass. Enjoy best from 2024 through 2034.
Oak plays a strong role in this wine's aroma and flavor. The core is dense and pleasantly earthy to the point of being chewy. No rush here but the tannins may persist. Drink now through 2026. 740 cases made. ?JL
