Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
The impressive, dense purple-colored 2005 E Pluribus
offers up aromas of spring flowers, camphor, incense, crushed rocks,
graphite, and blueberry as well as blackberry liqueur. Stylistically,
it is closest to the Melbury (even though that vineyard is on the
other side of Napa Valley). This beauty should be at its peak between
'11 - '30+. |

Wine Spectator
Packs in lots of rich, supple layers of flavor, built
around fleshy currant, black cherry, plum and wild berry fruit,
shaded by creamy, toasty oak. The vibrancy and concentration give
this a long, persistent finish. The tannins have a slight ragged
edge.
Best from '10 through '17. |
