Napa's five-grape symphony hits perfect harmony in this stellar vintage.
Walnuts and dark chocolate greet the nose. Blackcurrant and plum flood the palate with graphite minerality threading through. Cedar and herbs add complexity while leather notes emerge mid-palate. Satin texture delivers juice without excess. Tannins firm but polished. Finish lingers with spice and mineral precision. Peak drinking 2024-2035. This vintage finds perfect equilibrium between mountain intensity and valley elegance.
🍷 You want Napa power without the bombast - perfect for collectors seeking finesse over force.
Pairs with: herb-crusted rack of lamb, grilled portobello with truffle oil, aged ribeye with rosemary, dark chocolate tart
