Late(r) Afternoon Napa Tastings

Spotteswood kinda fancy

We had a similar experience at Corison. I was disappointed in both the environment, but also in her higher end wines. I think her basic Cab is lovely, but the other wines are overpriced and underwhelming.

We were there back in 2021 and did the Kronos tasting at the table they have setup in the vineyard. It was expensive, but IMO, still worth it to taste 4 vintages going back to 1999. The wines really show the potential for aromatic and elegant wines to be produced in Napa.

Iā€™m glad itā€™s not just me. Tasted there in 2016 and wanted to like it (I like old school, leaner Napa cabs).

Too bad, as I was really looking forward to the tasting,
