Pretty standard Napa Cab but better than I expected given other notes. Dark purple and still very tannic, but well integrated and intense. Mostly black fruit and cassis with tobacco and toasted oak on the finish.

A bottle forced upon members from a disastrous vintage for the winery. Decanted 4 hours prior to first taste giving off strong dark fruit aromatics and matched on the palate. Foursquare with no acidity and little oak detected, but significant bitterness and sour qualities with grainy tannins. Wine settled down a bit the following day and became much easier to drink, but the bitter, sour qualities remained. Do not recommend.

Better than many 2011 Napa cabs. Dark fruit, good structure, not muted like many others are.

A bit on the overripe and oaky side but good extraction and length, nice Napa fruit nose, I like it but way overpriced on this poor vintage.
