Wine showed excellent balance in it's aging...perhaps at its peak. Soft fruit and tannins with hints of chocolate and plum. Overall, very good representation of the Napa style Cabernet.

Purchased directly from winery and properly stored since purchase. Purple in color - a little browning on the edges. Nose - open, with notes of plums, prunes and chocolate. On the palate, prunes and plums again, with the pruney flavor overshadowing the rest of the fruit - has a "thick" feel - not in a good way. Finish fairly short - tannins present, but just barely. Overall, wine still enjoyable, but seems past its peak tonight.

The wine still had good charater - nice chocolate notes - second night a little lighter.
