I’m not a Napa cab guy most of the time but this was nice. Surprisingly fresh for this vintage/age, dark red fruit, showing decent complexity on finish. More tannic on finish with some air. Drink now. Know nothing about this producer.

first opened 2 days prior then sealed and retasted.......seemed too tight and needed to breathe.......later tasting showed remarkable structure, but an over abundance of tannins.....hints of leather, cassis and black fruits, but wasn't as enjoyable as expected......

Nose of eucalyptus, wild berry, cherry. The entry makes a huge impression with red currant, blackberry and cherries. Midpalate is nice with Red Cherry flavors, minerals, blackberry, sage and a nice balance of cool menthol/eucalyptus. This is fantastic and has a long lingering finish. 93 pts. This was my third favorite of the night. Find more.

Past its prime. Very closed nose. Underlying this I sensed an older, more traditional style of Napa Cab.

Definitely over the hill. A bit tired and little fruit left.
