One of the best wines I've had the past couple years. Nearly everything I'm looking for in Napa Cab. As soon as I opened it, I gave it a sniffy sniff to make sure it wasn't corked. And my goodness - I couldn't believe how good it smelled. It's the perfect step up from their entry level Napa Cab. Rich fruit backed by supporting savory aromatics and flavor notes. Never too heavy on the palate. Textbook Napa Cab. Classic.

OK, this is very nice Cabernet. Very much in the Rutherford style. Wonderful nose, buttery on the tongue with strong fruit, plum and leather. Very nice finish with high end tannins. This their latest single lot. It needs to be decanted to really bring out the essence of the wine, we let it decant for an hour.

Dark red in color, aromas of leather red fruit. Tastes of dark red fruit, leather and some licorice. Tannins smoothed with air and time. Very nice.
