Great red fruit, classic pencil shavings nose. After some air, maybe a little orange peel, too.....no sense of this being from the difficult '11 year in Napa. Light to mid weight in the mouth. This isn't a big heavy dark cab. It has some elegance, a freshness with nice acidity/backbone. Really nice. Better than 1 year ago.

Dry cab, with good complexity and a spicy finish. A bit over priced for what I get in a decent Napa cab.

At a good stage. This vintage lacks the depth and character of a better vintage.

Tannins are resolving, yet still needs time to evolve. Try next in 2020.
