Had at a spectacular WINEBID.com tasting event. Total of 39 wines tasted with an unbelievable lineup ! Bravo to Sterling Roig.
Wow just noticed that this is the same wine pulled out in 16'. Hmmm.... I guess I get to follow-up. Spicy and racy as this appears to me to have improved from my 16' posting. I kind of liked this among the younger Napa Cab's tasted.

WineBid Tasting Event (Mandarin Oriental): Fun wine to try and perhaps the best of the group of Premier Napa Valley wines being tasted. The pepper is almost more predominant than the fruit in this which pokes through a bit in more of a red format. More muted and aging nicely although as previous note mentioned it's still young and more time to go. Had been decanting for prob about 4 hours by the time we tried it.

Tasted at the WINEBID.COM 20th anniversary NYC tasting.
A rare treat as this was 1 of only 30 bottles produced. The wine was built to age and was, frankly, dominated by the tannin's. This should be held and drunk for another decade.
