"Aromas of currants, blackberries, fresh mushrooms and flowers. Medium-bodied with compacted fruit and integrated, fine tannins. Ripe fruit with reserve. Attractive and alluring. Excellent structure."

"This has a lot packed in, with juicy, bramble-fueled blackberry and black cherry compote notes, licorice root, alder and cedar accents and light violet, hibiscus and sanguine hints that peek in on the slightly old-school finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2035. 1,600 cases made."

"From a drought year marked by drastic wildfires, the 2020 Napanook certainly does well, with an upfront, supple, charming style in its red and black fruits, leather, dried herbs, and loamy earth-like aromatics and flavors. It's nicely balanced, medium to full-bodied, has fine tannins, and a good finish."
