2005 Napa Valley Anthology
“Expressive and complex, the 2005 blend opens with an alluring aroma of ripe black plum, warm berry pie, and caramel. Supple and elegantly structured, the flavors build on the black fruit and silky spice core. A long finish is accentuated with ripe berry flavors and crème brûlée richness.” – Mike McGrath, Winemaker
