Displaying a deep ruby hue in the glass, this classic Napa Valley bottling delivers an intense and highly aromatic perfume of dark cherry, ripe plum, and blackcurrant intertwined with signature nuances of sweet tobacco leaf, cedarwood, vanilla, and a touch of cocoa powder. The full-bodied palate is wonderfully plush and concentrated, coating the mouth with layered flavors of grilled plum, dried blueberry, and savory tobacco-leaf. While powerful and richly packed with dark fruit, the wine remains remarkably drinkable thanks to medium-to-full, smoothly polished tannins and a lifting, cool-climate freshness that carries notes of oak spice, mocha, and warm cinnamon through a long, generous, and well-balanced finish
