This wine was sourced from Merryvale's St. Helena Estate Vineyard which lies on an eastern ridge overlooking the Napa Valley at almost on thousand feet elevation. Made of 90% Cabernet, with the rest Bordeaux varietals. The wine opens with lovely aromatics reminiscent of anise, blackberry and cassis with coffee on the nose. Palate has anise and graphite with blackberry, black cherry, black olive and creme de cassis. Delicious but needs a ton of time in the bottle to develop. (Best 2018-2028) - August, 2015 (OB)
