Sunday, March 24, 2013 - This captures the richness of the vintage without being over the top. There are lovely flavors of blackberries, cassis and minerals along with a hint of bitter chocolate. Full-bodied and very balanced with tannins that show a slightly green edge which suggests it was picked on time rather than the typical Napa cab which is picked overripe. The finish clamps down and the wine retains a fine texture and good freshness that suggest it will age beautifully. I wish more Napa cabs were made like this. 93+
