Flawed. Deep yellow - nearly amber - color, cloying texture and no acid. Bummer…

5/22/2023 - HoostineFL Does not like this wine: 83 Points
I don't mind showy Napa cab when the wine is balanced (Memento Mori, Realm, etc), but this was a sloppy mess, and unfortunately got worse over the course of ~90 mins becoming even more disjointed.

Deep, dark, black-ish purple color gives an indication of what's to come... Fruit is absolutely cloying, confected and sloppy. Oak sticks out, and as the wine warmed up from cellar temp (drinkable, but just far too sweet) to room temperature it became a hot, disjointed, and barely swallowable. "Enjoyed" with chicken marsala. Luckily, I wasn't paying.
