  Purchased directly from winery. A beautiful aged Napa cab. An intoxicating nose of vanilla and dark red fruit. Bright acidity. Round tannins. Very balanced. Red fruit, vanilla, shaved chocolate, and a small amount of loamy earth on the palate. Decanted for an hour and tasted over the next 4 hours. This beauty continues to open an evolve down to the last sip. Drinking very well at the moment but has the stuffing to go another 5-10 years.

  Decanted. Similar to previous notes, this fruity wine is sweet and a crowd pleaser. Not my style but my wife liked it. GOOD.

  Similar to previous note, fruit a little faded, so would drink go this up over the next few years. This is straightforward, not complex, and lots of better stuff out there at this price.
