A mid $20s Napa Cabernet that is meant to be a moderately priced wine that gives the drinker an idea of how impressively tasty a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon can rightly be, enjoyable young while still being ageworthy, all without emptying your wallet. At 14 years old this wine has aged well. The cork was somewhat crumbly when pulled but without causing the wine to be flawed, largely thanks to the wine's having an opaque color with an inch pour, no oxidation. and a still sturdy tannin and acidity. with an enjoyable fruit of blackberry, black cherry, and black currant. Aging gave the wine both a smoother texture and better integration.

Decated an tasted, very big, rich,concentrate and of course extracted. Dark, dark fruits, sweet, but not over done compared to some styles, over the top for many but on the border for the most.. No Donald Trump but extreme in a GOP way!

from a 375. itwas a nice bottle with good tartness and cassis. A nice kiss of oak. this was ready to drink on opening. A decent finish that was pleasant to drink.
