Was almost a little green upon opening. With some air this element came into more balance. Nice core of black currants, fine tannins. In early drinking plateau. Really lovely Napa cab—clearly old school.

This was good but not exciting. It’s a good mix between old Napa and new. Tons of ripeness but some green edges. My guess is that this has yet to enter prime drinking.
