they call it east, because the grapes are from the vaca mountains, and the vineyard faces west. it's a splendid wine, classically proportioned, with rich, thick tannins that have true napa refinement. the flavors are also classic, suggesting cassis and cedar, with a distinct smack of indescribable minerals. there's a lot of smoky new oak, but it's proportionate to the wine's power. this serious new napa cab is great now, and should develop for many years.
