90 Points

Friday, November 30, 2012 - It would be unfair to criticize this wine without acknowleding its pedigree, especially as reflected in the strength of the fruit, but I have to say it underwhelmed in the end. Like an insecure date trying too hard, the wine seemed too conscious of itself, too focused on "checking the boxes" of a powerful Napa cab. Dominant dark fruit flavors are clashing with heavy oak. There's heat but no real structure. I shouldn't complain, yet I am not sold.
