Very impressed this is still drinking well. Katie and I agreed this even has a few more years left in it if you want, but why wait. Nice nose, legs, resolved tannins, heat disappeared after it opened up and the muted black fruit came center stage surprisingly. Very interesting bottle at this stage. We were all happy with this wine on Katie's porch. 92+

Dark purple with minimal garnet. Raspberry and blueberry and green notes. Palate is mature dark fruit with cassis. Notes of tobacco and pepper. Plenty of tannins and acid for another year or two.

Wow- What a few years does for this turd! Expressive Napa juice this is, this went from an average drinker to almost the next level... Ok don’t get to excited here, a cheap Costco that parish end out-finally Really good now- thru 2023

Was given this wine as a gift a year ago and wasn’t sure what to expect. Opened after our primary dinner wine and was pleasantly surprised. Wine is drinking well now with aromas of dark cherry and hints of cedar and tobacco. Tannins have long slipped away leaving ripe blackcurrants, plums and a spicy long red berry finish. Drink up!

A real pleasure to sip this on its own. Lovely aromas of blackberries and spice. Mouthfilling ripe blackcurrants, plums and black cherries, silky smooth fine textured tannins, long red berry finish.
