Tasting Note:August 12, 2016

Thanks Scott for picking out this bottle for us to try! Bright ruby red with a high intensity. Beautiful and classic Napa nose with a ton of dark fruits, thick cassis, cinnamon and vanilla. Palate was super extracted with a ton of cassis and blackberries. Moderate tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Long and silky finish.
