Estimate
Deep garnet-purple, it's simply gorgeous on the nose with cassis, black cherries, blueberries and spice box with nuances of roses, violets and chocolate box. The palate is full-bodied, rich, spicy, plush and expressive, finishing very long.
...first time they’ve made a Napa Valley blend... ...comes mostly from mountain terroirs and is a rich, nicely structured 2016 that has plenty of black cherry and blackberry fruit, notes of roasted herbs, licorice, and camphor, good acidity, and the depth and balance to evolve...
Dark, plummy and generous, all qualities that make it a terrific choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Plum, blackberry, chocolate and espresso notes are pushed forward.
