Came in our wine club delivery... Enjoyed with Filet Mignon with Green Beans tonight!
Below is a picture of the entrance to the tasting room from our last trip to Napa.
Tasting Notes: Expressing notes of black cherry, all spice, cocoa powder and cedar on the nose, the palate confirms the mouthwatering and delicious flavor of big cherry, along with cocoa powder, and vanilla. The wine exhibits fine and delicate tannins, making it perfect for food pairings, or to enjoy by itself.
Vintage Notes: The 2012 vintage will be one to remember, and reminds Napa vintners of some of the very best vintages of the past few decades. A mild spring led to a good fruit set. Summer and fall brought warm temperatures, but no heat spikes. All of the fruit enjoyed a long, slow ripening, driving more intense fruit flavors and complexity. These wines will be full bodied but tannins are soft and supple. The colors are vibrant and rich for whites, and nearly inky black for reds. Overall a fantastic vintage.
