This wine shows intense mountain tannins and fruity concentration. The flavors differ from those produced in Napa's mountains, veering more toward red berries and red currants than Napa's black ones. Oak plays a major role, but never overpowers. With 24% Merlot, this needs cellaring; don't pop the cork before 2018.
