Rich dark fruit with a bit of spice. I would've liked a little more complexity, but this is an unapologetic Napa cab. Drinking well at the moment, but plenty of life left.

Blackberry and oak on the nose and the attack palate. Color was still dark Garnett with pretty thin minsicus. I was surprised by how young the wine still appeared. It can age another 5-10 years. That said, after double decanting it and giving it a couple hours, it was truly exceptional. It definitely need some air to show itself. One of the best Alpha Omega wines made in my view. Nothing better since 2010 that I have tasted anyhow.

Dark blackberry fruit, with obvious oak notes. Decanted 2 hours, and with more air it softened a bit. There plenty of acidic backbone, and tasted quite delish. Clearly a napa/new world, but sometimes that can be good some times!

Tasted over 6 hrs. At hour one, sleepy. Two: waking up but tart. 3: better still, dark fruits and a bit earthy. 6: open and drinking well.
