Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 30, 2024 - Muted nose and palate upon opening, so decanted for 3 hrs.

Paired with grilled salt-rubbed ribeye steaks. Ripe, bold, viscous, and good heat. Aromas and flavors of black cherries, blueberries, cola, vanilla, and black tea. Velvety, well-integrated tannins that still provide good structure. Perhaps a bit round.

Wasn't sure about the score upon pnp'ing, but I suggest airing out the wine a bit, as it worked for me regarding coaxing out the flavors. Juicy, strong fruit, a great textbook Napa cab for the pricepoint. Drink now through 2027.

91 pts for me.
