Wedding anniversary red. Two hour decant. Slight whiff of age but overwhelming profile of cassis and blackberry both on the nose and the palate. Silky smooth wine a a bold one too - rich and fruit laden. The hint of ag remains throughout. Very Californian. It's not a subtle wine but it is a very delicious one. Been to the estate as well - lovely place. None left and not sure I can hold of any more in the UK..

Blowing off some sort of Unami, soy sauce like aromas at PnP. If blind tasting I’d personally mistake this for Bordeaux. Cherry, olive are dominating the palate. No bricking in the color. This could be a very long lived Napa Cabernet. 2010 remains an underrated vintage in Napa and Sonoma to me.

Exceptional. Still young in my opinion. A bit lighter style than the more recent 2014/2015 vintages. Could be more the vintage speaking though. Exceptional wine and Napa Value.

About two hours in the decanter for this one. Beautiful and rich aroma. Lovely smooth and silky black fruit. One left, no hurry. Delicious.
