Surprisingly restrained on the oak, so it’s a better expression of the grape and place than you see in most Napa chards. Straw greet with hay yellow blended between, the nose has hints of the brioche-oak identity, but is mostly pronounced white, fresh stone fruits, vanilla, and a hint of lemon tart. The flavor is bold, oaky, but fresh and not to weighty. It’s not normally my favorite style, but it’s a good example of the way it can be done well, and more balanced than most, with a finish of crisp ripe yellow apple, with a baked cinnamon note fluttering in the back. — 8 days ago

Nearing the end of its life, certainly, but man it was good juice! Jammy and juicy, silky tannins, very little acidity left, drinks very easily and quite yummy. Held together nicely for 16 years. Brief finish, great mouthfeel. — 3 months ago

Thick and dark. Tasting notes cigar box and lead pencil shavings. I am not able to identify those. But definitely chewy. I love this because after this bottle is finished there will be no need to open another bottle. Taking a long time to drink this. Savoring every sip. Heavy and enjoyable. This is why I prefer red wine. — a month ago

Nice aromatic nose. Needs a good decant, tannins bright and chewy pnp. Plum, cherry, layers of fruit. Tight mouthfeel with a nice full finish. — 3 months ago
