"Dried-blackcurrant, pine, charred-bark and musk aromas. Dried herbs and spices, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins. Flavorful and dense. Better from 2022."

"Very expressive, with lots of bay, menthol and sassafras notes leading off, followed by alluring cassis, cherry and plum purée flavors. Nice integration through the lengthy finish too. Drink now through 2031. 300 cases made."
Product Description:
"Appearance exhibits deep dark purple color with intense hues. This wine is elegant and powerful. There is focused fruit with pronounced plum, blackberry and currant. The fruit is framed with barrel notes of toast and baking spice. The palate has rich yet, supple, lush depth from integrated tannin structure. The wine comes together on the finish and lingers on the back of the palate providing a long finish This wine is approachable now and will age for many years. The 2017 growing season was an early vintage in the Napa Valley due to Labor Day heat. We had good balance on the fruiting wire. Harvest was complete by the first week of October." - Winer
