A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. I'm not particularly a big fan of most up-valley NapaVlly Syrahs. Of Adam's Syrahs, I tend to find his NapaVlly versions the least interesting of his tableau. This version was not as distinctive as his RRV or SLH versions; but still a good solid Syrah that I liked quite a bit.
