Opulent yet restrained 2016 that captures Napa's signature power with surprising finesse.

The nose opens with concentrated black cherry liqueur and baking spices, immediately telegraphing this wine's serious intentions. On the palate, waves of dark plum and blackberry cascade through layers of cocoa powder and toasted vanilla, while firm but polished tannins provide backbone without overwhelming. The finish lingers with subtle cedar notes, suggesting this vintage will reward cellaring through 2030.
