The WOTN against Scarecrow, Pichon Baron, Harlan, LaTour and many others. This nearly 60 year vintage Napa held it's own against 1st growth and some Napa cults showing the younger gents how to dance! Still has 5 years left, dusty, pencil shaving, light red and blue fruit. Just amazing what they were doing at this winery in the 60s.
