  Solid O’Shaunnesey wine from Mt. Veeder. Its youth is gone and so is the ripeness I’ve experienced with younger OS wines. More depth, blue fruit and ash on the palate. Medium finish. Pleasurable wine.

  Typical mountain fruit , high in minerality , black berry and plum. Grippy tannins and a 15-second finish.

  From the onset after 30 minutes the nose was a floral excellence with dark fruit protruding as a draw. The nose eventually came out as a floral herbal essence with herbs of some sage. Flavors followed with cherry essence both black and red. The tannins were expressive with a good acid balance that was long. A beautiful Cab from Napa!!

  The nose upon opening was dark fruit tightly wound with spice notes. 90 minute decant. OMG! Dark black fruit was beautifully paired with some violet, cedar, and quartz notes. Drank over two hours and the tertiary woodsy, loam and floral notes began emerge at the end. The tannins were never harsh and carried the flavor changes nicely over the course of drinking the wine. I can see this wine moving up 1-2 points over the next 10 years.

  Delicious. With an hour of air, deep blackcurrant and fantastic balance. Tannins are medium+ and medium acidity Beautiful wine, in a great place right now.
