Wonderfully vibrant and fresh, and full on the palate, with dark berry fruits and chocolaty notes mingling with the aromatic bay laurel to create a minty through line, resolving with chalky tannins and earth notes tinged with a lingering bright and zesty spice character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e94 Points - James Sucking:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eA juicy and flavorful red with real Napa character from vineyards in Calistoga and Coombsville.
