This wine is finally coming into its own. It needed the time to become a superb wine. Note that this is a Dollarhide Estate, which I generally like less than their Rutherford Estate cabs.

After almost 5 years in my cellar, finally! A monster cab, after 2 hours of air it aromatically was as effusive as any wine I've had. Bold cassis, blackberries, blueberries, licorice. On the palate, sweet cherries, minerality, overall intensity with a bit of cinder box, finishes with balanced acidity & tannins. Does a fine job with the Green Chef meal kit tonight, but food is almost a distraction when drinking this wine, a fantastic sipping experience all by itself.

This standout wine is at its prime. Great complexity and depth. Beyond all it tastes wonderful. Pairing it with food almost lessens the experience.

Ready now. Beautiful, big Napa cab. Delicious by itself.
