  Had this at a dinner. Decanted a few hours in advance. From the family that owns stagecoach vineyard and apparently this is their best block.
  
  Initially presents as a big wine (15.2% ABV) but needed another two hours for the fat to shed. Once it did, a beautiful mountain wine emerged. Purple fruits and flowers, chaparral, mineral laced tannins. Big but balanced. Oak provided some body but was not noticeable.
  
  Put this away another 10-15 years. Maybe entry level Napa doesn’t age well, but this is not entry level in any sort.

  Opened for 1 hour. Color is very dark red/purple. Nose: Plum, dark chocolate and some alcohol heat. On the palate: Rich plums, sour cherry, cassis and dark chocolate. Very silky mouthfeel with lots of weight. Quite long finish. Very new world that will be very much enjoyable to those that like new world style. It’s very big but also well made.
