USA, California, Napa Valley, Spring Mountain District
Deep ruby color; moderately aromatic, black fruit, ripe; palate is full bodied, young but smooth tannins, plenty of blackberry fruit, nice medium acid, medium balanced alcohol; medium finish. Nice California cab but seems young. 91
Deep ruby-purple; black and red fruits, some spice, vanilla; palate is full bodied, super-Oakes and vanilla, fruit seems somewhat reticent today, structured but ripe tannins, medium-plus alcohol, medium acidity, slight bitterness; medium finish. The nose was very promising but the palate seemed a tad overripe and the bitterness detracts. 88
Deep ruby-purple; ripe black fruit, spice, highly aromatic; palate is full bodied, spices, black fruit, medium alcohol, tannins are young and need time; medium finish. Pretty good balance and nice spice, almost reminiscent of a cab/zin blend. Lovely. 90-91
