Deep and penetrating red berry and red plum. Ripe but there’s also plenty of freshness to counterbalance. Milk chocolate, some leather and obvious oak that becomes less obtrusive on days 2 and 3. Excellent Napa Cab typicity.

This is a great wine! It is everything an Oakville cab should be. Lovely currents and red fruit on the nose, a medium plus palate. There is great acidity on this wine making it a great wine to match with food. We had it with Porterhouse steaks and it went wonderfully. A great wine at its peak.

Medium ruby. Medium(-) intensity nose of raspberry, cassis and vanilla. The palate shines with fresh and vibrant cherry and blueberry complicated by new leather, chocolate and medium-toast oak. Layers of snappy flavors build intrigue. Medium acidity, luxurious tannins and long finish.

This was much better on day two with a half bottle left. One day one it was almost flat. The next day the fruit exploded into raspberry, black cherry and cassis. Medium plus tannins. Absolutely needs air.

Medium body and nicely balanced. Ripe red fruit and tannins that are integrating nicely. Drink now-2022. Not the blockbuster I expected but we'll see when the full bottle is open and decanted.
