Inviting aromas of ripe blackcurrants and blackberries as well as crushed walnuts, cedar and bark. Full-bodied, creamy, and structured with firm, polished tannins. Balanced and even with a lingering finish. Better after 2026.
Packed and broad in feel, with a ganache note draped over black currant, blackberry, and steeped cherry. Licorice root and alder smoke flavors check in on the finish as the fruit pumps through, ending with a flash of violet. Hard to resist now, but this has some development ahead. Drink now through 2036. —J.M.
What We Thought: If you could "distill" Napa Valley in a single glass, this would be it. An expressive nose of cedar and cassis leads to a thick, full-bodied palate of ripe, brambly blackberry and black raspberry fruit, along with some supple yet serious tannins that will reward decanting.
