I thought there would be a thread on this one but could not find it. 13.9% alcohol. Medium ruby with some lightening at the rim. Nice nose of black cherries and rich organic soil. Elegant with a medium finish. You could mistake this one for a Bordeaux. 2000 is not a great vintage for the Napa Valley but this wine drinks really well. I would drink up. 90 points.
