1995 will long be remembered as one of the worst years for wine in recent memory. However a few growers did manage to produce some world class grapes in spite of the two "100-year" floods that hit the Napa valley. Justin Meyer managed to pull another rabbit out of his hat with this wine. It has a very dark ruby color, a nose of cassis, blackberry, plum, and coffee. This wine has an incredible mouth coating texture and a very long finish, with a very complex set of flavor transitions. On release it was somewhat tannic on the finish, but those tannins have mellowed to reveal a very delightful wine.
