The 2018 bumper crop in Napa Valley shows itself in this 24,000-case production wine that lets you know from whence it came in all areas but pricing. Solid structure, proper aromas and flavors, a food friendly finish — altogether a big ask for twenty bucks, and it’s answered graciously here. It will certainly be appearing on by-the-glass lists. Get a case and put it on yours.
