This is undoubtedly one of the last Napa Valley wines to be released from the 2015 vintage, and I’m happy to say that the wait has proven to be worthwhile. Market forces of late have put pressure on wines to be released earlier than optimal, so this is a nice find. It’s got down the middle Napa Valley character, with blackberry, cassis, dried herbs and easy fall spice aromas and flavors, fine grained tannins and a long well integrated finish. You can enjoy this now, or age it another 5 years or so.
