Very straight forward: all currant and a little oak. This is definitely Napa cab - but it's very "clean" tasting as opposed to the way over the top, in your face fruit I'm used to. A little more refined. Bravo. Very drinkable now but will improve (to my old world tastes) over the next few years.

Oak was the predominant - but not overwhelming - first impression. Really enjoyed this wine. Deep, dark, big - but not overpowering. Drinks like a cab but the PV seems to add something (maybe only to the nose?) -- positive, nonetheless. The alcohol never overwhelmed. Simplest way for me to review a wine: would I seek this wine out and buy more? Yes, no question. A crowd pleasing teeth-stainer.

Drinking fabulously right now. Lots of deep red fruit and earthiness. Tannins still present. Lots of body. ClassIc California can. Very enjoyable
