Napa Valley
Wine Spectator Weekly, August 1, 2002.
Rich, intense and spicy, a wonderfully vibrant and complex wine with pure currant, black cherry and blackberry fruit that's enlivened by firm tannins and acidity. Best from 2003 through 2012. --J.L.
Wine Spectator gave this wine a score of 91 points.
