品飲筆記：色澤深沉偏磚紅，前段以濃郁黑果醬、熟梅與炙乾藍莓為主調，細緻地有紫羅蘭糖、甘草、淡煙草與礫石氣息。口感中厚，果實層次豐富，香料與礫土相互襯托，單寧結構緊實但柔潤，酸度明快，收結長且帶土香與些許松露氣息。 酒莊與葡萄園：此酒完全來自Napanook莊園，自有田地直送，標榜以產地純粹性為核心。1994年生長期特別漫長、氣候溫和，讓果實達到均衡成熟，是該園難得的優良年份。 釀造工藝：在田間與酒窖的工作都非常細緻——人工篩選、光學挑選，裝槽時採取溫和泵入以保留香氣與結構；桶陳以低比例新桶（約20%）為主，並每三個月以手工倒桶（esquive）以保持酒體純淨。整體釀作傾向極簡，重在呈現田地風貌。 飲用建議：此酒已顯成熟風貌，但建議輕柔醒酒一小時以打開香氣；配濃郁紅肉或野味，以及陳年硬質起司，風味最佳。
Tasting Note: Deep garnet with a powerful nose of preserved plums, blackcurrant jam, stewed cherries and dried blueberry, threaded with candied violet, licorice, cigar ash, and stony minerality. The palate is medium‑to‑full, richly extracted and layered: plush black and blue fruit, spicy undercurrents and fine, velvety tannins that carry terrific freshness to a long, earthy finish. Producer & Vineyard: Made exclusively from the estate’s Napanook vineyard and estate‑bottled, this wine is a vivid expression of site—purity, complexity and length are central to its character. The 1994 season was unusually long and mild, allowing full, balanced ripeness across the lots. Winemaking & Ageing: Fruit receives intensive sorting (hand and optical), gentle pump‑overs and minimalist extraction to reveal each lot’s personality. Barrel work is judicious—about 20% new oak—and the team racks by hand every three months (esquive), producing a wine with polished structure and great longevity. Cellar Note: Substantial yet supple tannins and bright acidity make this wine approachable now with decanting, while still rewarding further cellar time. Production was small for a Napa benchmark vintage, reinforcing its collectible status.
