This is fine wine in its youth. Minutes later you can still feel this wine on your palate – substance with a delicate patina, and a very refined bitterness.

Completely dry, with nicely structured natural acidity, together with just enough bitterness and palate-cleansing tannins to prepare your mouth for the next bite of whatever you might be having for lunch, dinner or even just a midday snack.

Overall, the bulk of this wine grew in Napa, including a tasty bit grown up on Spring Mountain, mostly in the Cain Vineyard.
