Pleasant wine with a nice nose and palate, but not a lot of expression. The nose has aromas of black pepper, sage and toast. On the palate, layers of blueberries, red figs and mint. The tannins are still firm and acidity is there, but it lacks depth and mouthfeel.

Deep and dark red - purple almost. Nose of Napa but not as pronoucned as a more popular/distinguished sub region. Nose was dark fruits and cassis. some hints of vanilla. palette was slightly astirngint or "alcholly" which did subside but kind of hung around in after notes after 45 minutes of being opeend. Good wine but didn't knock my socks off. I would cellar for at least another 3 years.

Getting a little more oak this time around. Didn't let it open as I have been anxious to drink wine the last 4 days.

Lower rating this time as my sinuses are a bit awry.
