Napa Valley, CA. 14 % abv. Lamb Vineyard is nestled at the foot of the Palisades in the Napa Valley and was planted in 1982. Dark purple color; opaque. Prominent fruit notes--cassis--mingle with leather and licorice. Fruit seems quite ripe. Polished in presentation with a rather lengthy finish and integrated tannins, especially by the third evening. The first evening I had it with cheddar cheese and on its own after eating chicken Brunswick stew at a dinner supporting Operation Inasmuch. The second evening I had it with sirloin steak, a baked potato and a side dish of vegetables.
