2012 heralded vintage for Napa cabs. Decanted for 45 minutes. Prominent berry and earthy spice on the nose with hints of vanilla and crushed rock. Ripe black berry and plum, very lush on the palate. Tannins surprisingly refined for a still young bottlling....finish lingers, lots of upside. I will cellar several bottles--drinkable from 2015-2022 or thereabouts. A notable value and worthwhile long term.

Phenomenal wine for the price. Drinking great right now. Probably has 2 years max before it falls off.

Good entry level Napa Cab from a good vintage. It was drinking surprisingly well now, but should withstand at least 3 more years in the cellar.
