This wine begins with scents of allspice and cloves, moments later, the nose lengthens with black berry, black cherry and a subtle sensation of vanilla. The characteristics of Blend 26 are dramatic; exactly what one expects from fruit derived from Napa Valley’s most coveted vineyards, namely: Tokalon, George III and Stagecoach, and is aged 24 months in 85% new French oak. Best from 2008 forward. Unfiltered and Unfined. |
