Mountain-grown five-grape blend strikes rare balance between power and elegance.

Floral lift mingles with herbs and tar against earthy backdrop. Cedar and graphite frame blackcurrant core. Supple mid-palate avoids heaviness plaguing many Napa reds. Dark plum, leather notes emerge. Finish whispers rather than shouts - unusual restraint for this address. Should drink beautifully through 2032.
