2018 STEPS RESERVE BARREL SELECT PROPRIETARY RED | NAPA VALLEY BLEND
Tasting Notes from Master Sommelier, “The 2018 Steps Barrel Select begins with an intense, ripe nose of black cherries, red currants, graphite, fresh mushrooms and sweet vanilla. The palate is powerful and penetrating with crushed mountain blackberries, lush black fruits, espresso roast and refined minerals. It finishes with satiny tannins, and a long, balanced, supple mouthfeel. Drink now until 2030.” KEVIN M. VOGT 94 POINTS
Deep Notes from Edward, “The other day I received the most interesting text from a VIP in Big Texas… “”Hey Ed, Send me another case of that Toilet Paper Wine…”” I immediately started laughing… because it just sounds funny, too funny… lol, but yes that is the Genius of Winemaker Grant Long Jr. He made TP Reserve 2018 wine so amazingly fast during these times, and with many Fans, I would say that is a good introduction to his pivotal skills. Focusing Deeper into Napa Red Blends, this Steps 2018 Reserve is on an entire different level. Secret Reserve sourced from coveted fruit of wines that fetch upwards of $100-$150 per bottle. No Joke. If you want a BIG Red wine from Napa Valley that fills the entire room with aromas blackberries and blueberries… this is for you. Enjoy now for a powerful burst, and age gracefully for upwards of 10-15 years. Requires a decant of 6-hours to Enjoy!” CALIHIWINES | EDWARD 95+ POINTS
