This presents a riveting mix of jazzy, toasty, mocha-scented oak and firm, graceful notes of currant, dark berry, savory herb and loamy earth. Well-focused and persistent on the finish and impressively restrained. Drink now through 2027. 551 cases made.

WOWOWOW! This is one tasty bottle of wine. In a vintage like 2012, the Napa bottlings of rockstars like Jeff are just out-of-this world good. Perfectly stored for you at the winery and a tiny amount released from the library just for First Bottle customers. Thanks Jeff!
