2022 Kinsman Eades Aisana

Spring Break in Napa -- Who Needs Cancun?; 3/22/2024-4/27/2024 (Oakville, St. Helena, Calistoga): Tasted alongside Realm Fidelio and Phifer Pavitt date night. Of the three, Aisana clearly had the most depth and interest but at first was dominated by Fidelio’s fruit and energy.
As time went on, though, Aisana’s depth and vigor shone through as the wine revealed itself to be layered and masterfully constructed. It had restraint and strong chalk. Nothing is out of place nor out of balance.
Realm made the biggest first impression but Aisana came through as having been agreed to be the best for its superior complexity and architecture. 95

Had good structure and an interesting profile. Was showing nicely. good mix of some red fruit with nice graphite. Lots of complexity and depth. Interesting site. 94-96

Spring Break in Napa -- Who Needs Cancun?; 3/22/2024-4/27/2024 (Oakville, St. Helena, Calistoga): Opened the previous day. Their Howell Mountain offering.
Had a classic mountain profile. lots of black fruit, graphite, intensity. Very interesting, with a lot of complexity and depth.
Might need some time to open up, seemed a little off balance as we had it. 93-95
