Default Two Napa Reds

Grilled a leg of local lamb at my farm this weekend and opened a
couple of bottles of Napa red wines that I had in my cellar at the
farm.

2001 Frank Family "Winston HIll" Cabernet-dark purple with a serious
amount of Rutherford dust and black pepper on the nose. Deep flavors
of cassis and blackberries on the palate. Firm but fine tannins and
good length on the finish. Nice wine. A-

2002 Regusci Estate Napa Merlot-Reddish purple inj the glass. Red
plums and berries ont he nose. A bit of toasted oak on the palate.
Soft and low acid but a good match with the lamb as the red fruit
component brought our the flavor of the lamb. "B"
