Geo-Cache
This is a big wine. Nearly impenetrable in density, a nose wafting waves of hi-proof concentration akin to the finest current Napa-bling offerings. But at a PP manageable to most folks. I’m not saying it’s cheap, but well-shopped can come in under a bill.

Wine Of The Day: William Hill Coombsville Chardonnay When we think of Napa Valley, our minds often go straight to Cabernet Sauvignon. But, there are pockets dotted throughout the Valley that grow delicious, lively Chardonnay with texture, structure, and character.
LEAVE THE 11 AND NOBODY GETS HURT
Dark garnet–ruby at the core–with a definite band of brick at the edge. lots of mint and eucalyptus in the nose, gorgeous sharp juxtapositions to a ker-THUNK of rich fruit majoring in blackberry cola, with all the briar and earth that goes along with both of those, but the fruit turns brighter and redder and the petrichor takes on a shrill galvanized steel.
I don’t know when the last fresh Napa…
