This label is coming into its own, and it’s a fine vintage from which to do so considering the scarcity of Napa Vally red wines from 2020 due to fires. No fire issues here — just pure Clone 43 Cabernet goodness on the bright side of the varietal spectrum. It is made in a nice tight style, with bright red fruit and dried herbs dancing together nicely. I would age this a good while in the cellar and wait for the elegance to emerge.
