Popped and poured. A bit flat coming off the Montelena, but a decent weeknight cab nonetheless. Notes of plum and leather. Medium-bodied and integrated, with dark fruit and plum flavors.

Decanted for thirty minutes and served with a Flannery lamb loin. Youthfully dark color. Notes of black cherry, lavender, kirsch, blackberry and potpourri. Full-bodied, with fine, soft tannins and flavors of blackberry, green tobacco and black cherry. Balanced, finishing with nice length. Excellent value here. Domino, tasting double blind, initially thought this might be French, and I can definitely see why. It's a lovely little bottle that's not overly ripe and has fine details and nuance. 91-92 pts, and Domino liked it more than I.

A great wine big bold with hints of cassis and violet. Monster finish that me thinks I drink to early LOL.... Definitely has more time in the bottle for those who want to hold.

3L Double magnum. 2 hour decant - Still very young. Lots of tannin. Well structured wine with good blue and black fruit but not a fruit bomb. On the nose, appealing without a lot of complexity. Full body with a medium length finish. This double magnum could have been aged for 20 years+ easy. Overall, an enjoyable young Napa red from a terrific vintage
