  How you score this depends on your taste in aged Napa Cabernets. I really enjoyed this. It is obviously past its prime, but its not dead yet! Still some fruit mixed in with some spices. Medium to light bodied and a medium length finish. Only 13.5% alcohol, it was nice to have a more restrained Napa Cab for a change. This was a lost in the back of my cellar bottle, not even on my inventory!

  Really nice aged cab. Tannins integrated. Nice graphite and cherry flavors. Drink now.

  Still holding on after all this time. Obviously fading but still refined and distinguished. Lean, cassis on palate with bricking on edges, acid still there. I have enjoyed all the cabs this winery has put out over the years and reasonable price point. Drink up.
