Rummaging through cellar found this bottle way back in 2013, took to the be drank rack. Didn’t expect much as previous note-was rather innocuous. This bottle was loaded with classic California jammy dark fruit, a hint of earth and a dollop of tasty oak on the finish. CT shows me having one more bottle somewhere in the mess of wine, should be fun to fine in a year or so.

Pretty darn good wine after decanting 1 hour... I fed all my impressions into the Tasting Note Assistant... This is what it said back to me. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like red currant, blueberry, cherry, vanilla, black pepper, tobacco and alcohol/hot. It tastes like red currant, blueberry, oak, vanilla, black pepper, nutmeg, tobacco and alcohol/hot. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium.

Wine has eaten its residual sugar and gained some elegance since purchase. Red fruit with bell pepper kicking in mid-palate. Tannin still strong.

Very good Napa cab. Nice depth and complexity with right amount of tannins. Medium body with a long finish.
