Beautiful cab from magnum. Elegant and refined, more european than californian. Surprisingly good for the year. This is a wonderful winery that would be more of a household name if the production weren't so small.

No doubt a great wine, but I think it has seen better days. 2000 was not a great vintage for Napa already, but this wine showed surprising structure and acidity, it just lacked the fruit notes that I would have liked. A lot of herb and bell pepper on the palate but still a great nose.
