Drank over 2 days. Cedar notes big time. Bright, good acidity for a napa blend. Medium length. Great wine for the price. I will buy more at 17 per bottle. Good to drink now but could use a year or two of cellaring.

Took 4 hours in a decanter to open up. I understand and agree with the other ratings on here for the first 2-3 hours. This wine really needs a long decant and is well worth the wait! Probably has a few more years of improving.

Opened and poured. This is good now. Don't wait. Super ripe but not over done. Lots of vanilla/oak, again not over done. Had with prime ribeye, great pairing. I'll by more but do not plan on cellaring.
