NAPA VALLEY | CALIFORNIA | $32
Concentrated blackberry and fig with sweet iron minerals and hints of cardamom and other woody spices, and loamy forest floor. Complex but well integrated. Luxurious silky texture, a heavy-ish mouth feel and an extraordinary long finish. Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah and Charbono. An excellent wine. (Reviewed 9/11/11)
