Medium ruby color. Low acidity, medium tannin, medium dry, high alcohol. Aromas of black cherry and dark stone fruit. Earthy aromas and sweet tobacco. A hint of rose floral note. On the palate, fruit forward of dark cherries, blackberries, and spice on the finish. Medium finish. Overall, good wine from 115 year old vines. The last vintage to come from the old vine Vinyard. Paired with a slightly spicy baked bean dish. The spice in the dish, highlighted the spice in the wine and overpowered the fruit in the wine.

Napa Valley Visit May23; 5/1/2023-5/4/2023 (Napa Valley): Eye: deep ruby/garnet. Nose: dried fruit, raisiny, jam!. Palate: loads of fruit, soft, long finish. JI=5. Will be last vintage sourced from the Calistoga vineyards (Old Levisi & Kenefick) as the old vines were pulled out. 375 cases.

I found this bottle to be quite interesting and seemed like an old schooled version of zinfandel.
