A very strong wine of superior tannic and acid structure. You can feel the pedigree in your mouth, smooth, elegant and luscious. The fruit is as ripe as it might be. The flavors are earthy and tobaccoey, and the wine turns astringent on the finish.

Terrific structure on this well made wine. You’ll be impressed by the rich tannins and fine acids. Caresses the palate with gentle smoothness. But be forewarned, this wine is lean on fruit. It’s herbal and earthy. But it shows that a Napa red doesn’t have to be fruit bomb to be elegant and delicious.

From a new winery, an interesting first effort. The fruit is on the earthy, tannic side, with high acidity, although there are plummy notes. Yet the structure is impeccable. Oak highlights rather than dominates. Probably not meant to be aged, but keep an eye on this winery.
