Perfumed, leather and spice box. Pleasant bit of veg and leafy herbs. Some dark fruits but mostly savory notes. Well rounded tannins and finish is still lively. Drink now.

Wow, really good balance and depth of East Napa valley fruit.
Worth the years of cellaring to enjoy it now. This bottle was starting to turn the corner in a good way but it may be worth a wait to look-see in 5 years.
Anyway, this is our last bottle and no regrets.
BTW, we had a very memorable tasting at CVV during our 20th anniversary trip in 2013. Thanks, Todd.

Lovely floral aromas. Dark fruit flavors. Integrated round tannins with nice acidity. Dark fruit, blackberry, graphite, and pencil lead. Medium+ finish. Nicely done.

2nd bottle of 6, purchased over a decade ago, and last consumed a bottle about 3 yrs ago. Developing nicely, this Napa Cab is regal, polished, with nicely integrating oak and showing cassis, black cherries, graphite, a hint of mint, and a long and super-refined finish. Really well made and built to age another decade or so. This is my wife's favorite Napa winery.

Absolutely wonderful. Not even close to its end. Plenty of fruit.
