Another beautiful bottling from one of my favorite Napa Valley producers. It’s very complex on the nose and in the mouth, and features damp and dry earth over a deep cherry and berry mix, with notes of cinnamon and powder adding interest. A worthy tribute to founding partner Norman deLeuze and a Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
