Dark Night Of The Soul Napa Valley 2017
97+ Points | CWA
“Deep garnet-purple colored, this majestic new release offers up a plethora of fresh and well balanced fruit flavors including blueberries, crushed blackcurrants and hints of of lavender, violets, and stargazer lilies on the bouquet. The velvety smooth and rich texture features fine tannins, spectacular depth of dark fruit flavors, and a lengthy finish (45 seconds long) that bodes well for enjoyment for the next 5-7+ years. We were immediately captivated by the fineness of the tannins on the finish as they glide effortlessly along, extremely pleasing with a steak tonight. Enjoy tonight (decanting recommended) through 2028. Bravo!” - California Wine Advisors
Background
Dark Night of the Soul is an homage to the sixteenth century Spanish mystic John of the Cross and his seminal composition which postulates that our passage through the dark night sets us free from all that hinders us from living a whole and holy life.
