Viader--Vintage 1994
Napa Valley
"Smoky, sweet, black and red currant aromas jump from the glass of this intriguing, saturated purple-colored wine. Some new oak is noticeable in the background. The wine's attack exhibits terrific purity of fruit, more acidity than many 1994s, and sweet, ripe tannin, all packed into a tightly wound, medium to full-bodied wine that only hints at its ultimate potential. This is not a large-scaled 1994, but it is a beautifully etched wine with considerable personality. I suspect it will be accessible when released in 1-2 years, but it will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring. It is unquestionably another 20-year effort from this vintage." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #104 (Apr 1996)
