Big fruit, very smooth tannins, but ultimately a pop & pour wine to drink pre-dinner or while chatting with friends. Not a great match for serving with a steak or other big dinners. Enjoyed drinking it, but not worth the price IMO.

Visiting Napa (Feb 13th - 17th); 2/13/2014-2/17/2014 (Napa, CA): Nose: Blackberry, Grilled Cherry and Sage notes. Slight BBQ smoke and leather jacket notes. Plate: Beautiful Blackberry and plum are accented with a good grilled herb and clay note. Finish: Quite detailed and long with red fruit, sage and eucalyptus.

14.7% alcohol. Dark ruby red. Exceptional claret aromatics. On the palate, the wine is very deep and pure, highlighting black cherry, pepper and spice. Long aftertaste.
From Kelly Fleming Wines and winemaker Celia Welch. This wine, with a somewhat whimsical name, is a serious Napa Cab. The grapes are 84% Oakville Cabernet from the Kelly Fleming Vineyard and 16% Merlot from Oakville. Very distinctive and enjoyable.

I am more than a little disappointed with this product. Was I sucked in by the Kelly Fleming hype? This is a perfectly enjoyable wine - she refers to it as a quaffing wine. I agree. Drink it, don't think about it too much.It's just not worth $60.

A good fruit-forward, moderately complex cab blend.
