"Ruby color. Aromas of vanilla-mint, honey-thyme lemonade, strawberry ice cream with hot fudge, and cedar with a velvety, crisp, fruity medium body and a warming, appealing, long chocolate gelato, graham cracker crust, whipped creme with nutmeg, cigar wrapper, and dulce de leche finish with well-integrated, silky tannins and moderate oak. A silky-smooth Napa treat packed with creamy-delicious flavors."

"Softly round and voluptuous in style, this wine offers oaky char overtones and brawny black fruit. Full bodied, it finishes with secondary characteristics of leather and black pepper that balance well against the dense fruit. - VIRGINIE BOONE"

"Earthy black tea, Asian spice and sage underscore a savory note in this ultimately balanced, well-integrated wine. Finishing touches of toasted oak and cola round out the finish.- VIRGINIE BOONE"

"This packs in the cassis, plum sauce and melted black licorice snap notes, adding in singed vanilla, sassafras and tar hints along the way. Stays polished overall in feel, with a long, alluring finish. Good for fans of the showy style. Drink now through 2034. - James MOLESWORTH."
