A flagship wine — one of Napa Valley’s heritage wines — that simply stuns with depth and staying power with the 2013 vintage. Classic in every sense of the word, it’s a wine that I hesitate to give a list of descriptors on. If you’d like to taste a true benchmark wine of the region, this is a great place to start. I dare say it’s a bargain at this price. Ted Edwards has been doing this for a long time, and this might be his ne plus ultra moment. Spectacular!
