Decanted and served with dinner. Very approachable cult-style Cab with palate-filling blackberry liqueur. Some delicious leather developed with air. Very good second wine and showing beautifully.

Opened for an hour prior to consumption. Deep purple color and a gorgeous nose primarily of black fruit with sprinkles of scorched earth amd charcoal. On the palate the wine was soft, almost creamy and beautifully integrated. Black cherry flavor was most pronounced. Very lush, elegant, savory and luxurious wine. Finish was a little clipped otherwise would have merited an even higher score. Drink now and for next 3 Years.

Ready to drink after a 30-minute decant. Interesting and delicious Napa blend drinking well now with beautiful primary fruit balanced with notes of umami. Great QPR.

A layered and complex Cabernet on the savory end of the Napa spectrum. Inky purple in color, full in body, nose of charcoal and blackberry. Dense tastes of black cherry, plum, mocha, olives, and cedar. 14.9% alcohol. Blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot. Gets softer with air, though still quite dense.
