Napa Valley

Full

Cork

Gorgeous nose full of bright cherry and plum with honeycomb and toffee apple edges - so enticing. Delicious and filling, really envelops the entire mouth with tannins that are on the prominent, full, ample and massy side with a powdery, chalky and soft fleshines that is so welcome and appealing. Feels like it's softening and expanding nicely, becoming more confident in the glass, still with power and concentration, but the juicy acidity shines through giving such a charming character. Structured and expressive, this is perfect to have with food and such a treat to taste a Napa with some age full of soft florality, subtle cinnamon, clove and ginger spice and espresso accents. In a great drinking period but there's still lots of life yet no doubt. Generous, balanced and so satisfying with a lovely texture and overall length. Ageing 22 months French oak, 50% new. Grapes come from a mountain top block of Cabernet Franc planted nearly 40 years ago on the Rancho Chimiles, high in the Vaca mountains. Winemakers Annie Favia and Andy Erickson.
