90 Points

Monday, October 29, 2018 - Nose is bright red, opulent, ripe, red cherry, sweet strawberry jam. Heavily oaked although there is good fruit on this. Not nearly as brutal as Harlan or other modern Napa producers but also without the sense of terroir and earth-driven development of say Dominus of comparable vintages. Vanilla and balsa for sure. Palate dry and a little wound up. First glass of wine in almost a month so score is possibly biased upwards. Hot asphalt. Red velvet cake.
