What a beautiful nose of creme de cassis, lovely new French oak, black berries and red currants. Medium-full bodied, this is just so delicious, loaded with flavors of milk chocolate, cedar, vanilla, black currant with new oak echoing in the finish. This is nearly fully mature, but acting youthful. There are still plenty of fine-grained tannins. Drink now-2028 92

An exceptional old world style Napa cab loaded with blackberry and black cherry fruit. This is a serious wine with a fantastic age worthy tannic backbone and acitity carried well by the fruit. Still quite sharp arould the edges, will evolve and integrate further over the next 5-10 years.

Blyantspiss, solbær, noe maling/alko, søt lakris på duft. Frisk i munnen, god fylde, fin fruktighet, ikke minst i ettersmaken, som har god lengde. Fine tanniner. En veldig god Napa Cab til en ok pris.

A fairly priced Napa Cab. Concentrated, ripe, black cherry, cassis, pencil shavings and balanced oak spice. Medium-medium-plus bodied. Structured, though with balanced tannins. Well made for price. While not a top tier Napa Cab, this wine offers a good value to enjoy a classic Napa Cab, without the high price tag.
