This is a very good cab that we have enjoyed over the past several months. Although this bottle (my last bottle) was as good as the last few bottles, it was loaded with a large amount of sediment. We did not experience this in the previous bottles.

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), cherry, vanilla and chocolate. It tastes like black currant (cassis), cherry, forest floor and vanilla tannins are medium to light. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Decanted for 30 minutes. Typical Napa cab, sweet raspberry, vanilla, dry fig and blueberry on the nose. Very nice after 9 years of cellaring.
In terms of flavor profile, the tannins are very well integrated. Black cherry cola, baked blueberry pie with nice notes of vanilla. Enjoyable drinking wine but one that won't keep you guessing, it's very straight forward.
Went well with grilled shell steak, roasted eggplant and roasted asparagus
Solid 90 point wine.

One thing to add, this is towards the end of its peak and probably will start declining soon. Drink them up this year.
