Excellent! decanted for 1 hour and improved over the next 2 hours. Easy on the palate with hints of cherry and vanilla. This wine is what you would expect from a quality Napa cab that has been cellared for several years (I bought mine directly from the winery). Smooth 30-45 second finish.

Beautiful nose of dusty sage and huge dark fruits. On taste the dark fruits remain added to by a hint of mint. Well integrated and not hot at all even given the high alcohol content. Held up well to black pepper. Very nice but not multilayered.

An excellent example of Napa Cab. Deep and rich without being overdone. Cassis, blackberry and licorice on the palate and nose with an outstanding, long finish complemented by some dusty tannins.

This is a wonderful Napa Cab. Dark purple-red in color, wonderful bouquet. Black cherry, hint of smoke and wood. Smooth finish that lingers on the palette. Decanted through an aerator before sampling; this will really complement the grilled filets for dinner.

A very young wine, crimson red in color and close to full bodied. Nose is actually kinda low key, with cream and crushed sugar. But when it reaches the palate, its ripe, lush and dense, with sugar coated cherry, orange zest, anise. Super smooth, great structure as always. Tasty, chewy tannins with no hard edges at all for such a young wine, plus the high alcohol level (14.9%) is well hidden, credit to the skillful winemarker at KF. Finishing note is vanilla and light tea leaf.
The wine gained some weight over time and there's iron, mineral notes on the nose. No doubt the whole drinking experience is pleasant, but the ripeness of the fruit gives a syrupy mouth feel at times.

Drinking perfectly right now - even more evolved and integrated than a few years back. Benefited from 1 hr decant.
