Pleasant, drinking well, tannins are mostly resolved and in good balance, not a lot of aromatic complexity and missing a bit of energy. I very pleasant drink

With Tri Tip… Nice herbal potpourri/herbs of Provence. Touch of earth, Wild blueberries, mild floral nose. Alcohol sneaks through a bit and a touch to sweet, keeps the score down. Revisit 2027

Decanted 20 minutes, followed 2 glasses over 2 hours. This was significantly better than their regular cabernet from 2008, 2009 and 2001, all of which I had recently and they're basically in decline. This seems to have a lot more structure, fairly straight-forward as a California cabernet, a great steak wine. It seems like prices of these wines haven't changed much in the last 5+ years, and I suppose its price appropriate for Napa, but there's the rub.

Dark purple with soft violet at the edges. Deep, rich blackberries on the nose with cocoa dust. Notes of sweet, ripe blackberries, somewhat over-extracted with soft, supple tannins. Raspberry notes jump into the mix with the above in a very tasty finish that also brings in a hint of citrus zest and a lovely sweetness.
