This is from the Regusci vineyard. It is a step up from the regular Napa bottling. Purple in color, ruby at the rim but inky at the core. The nose is tight despite being open for a while. Cassis, blueberries, a bit of anise with some air. Also some sandalwood. On the palate, this is delicious. Slightly sweet fruit. Cassis, black cherries intertwined with anise and spice. A long and persistent finish. Very tannic right now, this should need about seven to ten years to get to peak but if drinking sooner, a few hours in a decanter. Certainly some upside here with cellaring. Drinking better on its own, with some time, this should work well with roasts and grilled meats, fowl and veggies.
