Confusingly; this tasted more like old-vine Zinfandel. The winemaking style is very old-world; it's from 100% Grenache (100 year old vines) and it has plenty of spice and burnt shrubbery, but it only expresses it's sweet fruit and unique old-vine Grenache distinction immediately upon opening. Decanted for 3 hours and within an hour, it converts into the old-vine Zinfandel; somewhat sappy, heavy bramble and pepper spice.

Once upon a time, this was a very nice wine with lots of fruit & earthiness. But now, it's like an old worn-out shoe, and there's nothing but dried leather and funk.

Great mountain fruit (perfectly sweet & ripe) in this old style Napa Cab. Solid cork and minimal sediment; soft yet firm tannin on the mild and dusty finnish; cassis berries, minerals, well-aged tobacco and cedar. It's beginning to lighten and is now showing its age; I'd drink it sooner rather than later, unless in large format.
