Lots of fruit and tar on the palate/finish. But there's also a funk I can't quite place. A definite tartness on the finish. Integrated tannins. Drink now.

The nose is full of dark fruit, chocolate, fancy oak, and a hint of black olive. The palate is soft and accessible, showing black currant and blackberry flavors, fully resolved tannin, and a dry finish. In the end, this is good, but the sum of its parts falls way short of its price point.

This wine is open, forward and soft, with a chocolate, espresso and black cherry core of fruit. Another estate with so many wines, it's hard to keep track of.

This is very young and definitely over Oaked. The oak was overpowering initially on the nose & the taste. After this settled that initial oak was still present but not overpowering. Black fruit with decent tannins and structure. Paired nicely with a bone in rib eye. Definitely something to try again in 5 yrs.

Good, fruit forward and oaky Napa Cabernet. Not complex but given age I it was holding on well.

Loaded with fruit. Nice full expression of Napa Cabernet.
