A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This btl is of the rare ArchibaldCuvee, available only in LosAlamos. Don't look for it at your local CostCo.
This is another in a long line of impressive PS's from Jaffurs. They seem to be able to extract more fruit in their PS than most other producers. One of the greatest PS's being produced in Calif.
