Tasted On 11/16/2012

Fresh berry friut, creme de casis, nice structure for a young wine. A bit of leather and saddle on the finish. A quite nice wine. Deep purple in color and light mouthfeel, quite pleasant overall. From Howell Mountian, which with Prichard Hill is increasingly the best of Napa. Hold on Oakville, the future is on the slopes.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
