Napa Cab
Friday evening turned into the usual impromptu tasting. It was a Napa Cab showdown.
Orin Swift, Papillon, Napa, 2005 $55
Realm, The Tempest, Napa, 2005 $60
Corra, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa, 2004 $120
All the wines were amazing. While both the Papillon and The Tempest showed plenty of expression, complexity, density, and overall appeal, the Corra quickly established its dominance. Corra was also the most closed, but even still it was clearly on a different level. I had high expectations for the wine and I'm pleased to say that those expectations were exceeded. I'd recommend acquiring as much of it as you can find. The Papillon and The Tempest overdelivered for the price. Everyone loved all the wines.
