This is a Bordeaux blend from Napa. What a great wine. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has cassis, black cherries, tobacco, spice and slight cedar. Full bodied. Firm tannins. On the palate, this is delicious. Cassis, black cherries, cigar tobacco, just a hint of bell pepper and spice. Complex if tight. It unwinds in the glass. It may yet improve with some cellaring but delicious now. Drink over the next twenty years. Great on its own, this would work great with brisket.
