Had two of these left and opened one a couple weeks ago expecting the worst. Decanted for about 30 minutes. Started out a little harsh/bitter but after a few minutes, it mellowed into a traditional well-made NAPA cab...although it eventually became so spicey could easily have been mistaken for a Lodi Zyn with more body. All good!

Have to agree with the comment below...this wine is not past it's prime..in its sweet spot. Paired with beef and lamb and was a perfect pair. Still has plenty of time. Enjoy!

Decanted for about an hour. Started out a bit harsh and then all of a sudden it mellowed and a significant spice element came to the forefront. Held up for several hours. Wish I had more.
