Napa


I’ve had several bottles of this fine Cali Cab. Today, however- pure delight. The fruit is way up there, the tannins are super smooth and the mid and end- palate are full. From the sniff, first attack and initial impression: this is a good wine. Five minutes after a taste, I find myself salivating again and retasting the wine- how bizarre yet cool. Did I mention the tannins? Probably some of the finest on the market- just singing along with the choir. Each technical component is balanced here folks. I’m giving it 5 stars, a potential 94 point score and a must try in the Cali Cab arena.
