Yates Family Vineyard-Sisters-Mt. Veeder-Napa Valley-California-2016-14.7% Alcohol-$68.00-A bold nose of dark fruit and some spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red blend, not quite sure varieties but would guess Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and maybe Cabernet Franc, with blackberry, blueberry, a finish of chocolate and spices, much better than last time tried. NR CR-90 Good with meats, chicken, pasta. One Cork Bonus.
