Carneros Napa Valley
Februaury, 2003
Sleek and velvety, with a spice edge to its bright, brambly flavors. Bing cherry, blackberry, currant, earth and herb notes are at the fore, while a hint of cedar and pencil lead adds interest. The finish is clean.
Wine Enthusiast gave this wine a score of 92 points.
