Written Notes

The 1978 Red Rock Terrace had more tang, more smoke and more asphalt.  The vineyard got its name from its red iron soil and terraced slope, per either Dave or John.  Dave definitely observed more minerality and iron in its profile.  There was more iron for sure, along with more spice and a grapier quality.  There was lots of mahogany in its spice cabinet, and a smoky and smooth finish (95).

The first single-vineyard bottler in the Napa Valley? Very stony and impressive on both nose and palate. Racy, extreme and tending to acid but brave. The opposite of fruity.
