Still humming along -- a classic Napa Cab that hits all the familiar notes (plum, cherry, cigar box, bell pepper) with good rich fruit in a elegant-leaning frame. Well balanced with legs to keep going. Great value.

Goes to show that quality and ageability aren't always tied to a high price point. This was has aged beautifully to show complexity of flavor (red fruit, cedar, pencil shavings, bell pepper, cigar box) and elegance. Seemingly at peak, but can go for another 5-10 years.

Surprisingly non-payment nose. Reminds me of Corison honestly. Fruit is still young but it is laying back. Wants more acidity but delicious enough to ignore it's absence. Eye opening especially at the price. It's got time.

Decanted for 2 hrs. Very smooth and clean; almost like a Bordeaux. Dark fruit and berry flavor; hints of tobacco.
