It is supposedly from a top flight Napa producer, but you?ve heard our rap on that kind of thing before. Some people will say anything to sell a bottle of wine. All that really matters is what?s under the cork. That?s why we?re all over round two. This is as exciting a deal for this price as the Waterstone is for that price level, which means it legitimately tastes much more classy, ethereal and expensive than it costs and, well, this IS the point. Really deep, perfumed blackberry fruit on the nose as well as notes of spice and vanilla, sleek, slippery, velvety, very distinctively Napa currant fruit on the palate, and everywhere along the way the wine hits perceptibly higher notes than any of it?s ?peers?. It?s fun to speculate on possible stories, but this negociant bottling speaks very well for itself. There are other stories we could tell, but we?ll save them in case we have to talk about it again. We think it will sell out, but we did buy a huge chunk. It?s a legitimate Napa Reserve for half price.
