Black fruit, cedar, spice, herbal notes, pepper and huge tannins. A- Decanted but not for extended prior of time, cellar another 5+ years or plan to decant for 3-4 hours.

Deep ruby color and clear. Aromatic with aged oak, red berries and fall leaves. Off dry with a medium-full body. Fresh acidity and medium tannins. Good balance. Flavorful with raspberry, strawberry and cabbage. Long finish. Very good.

53/42/5 Merlot/Cab Franc/Petit Verdot. All Calistoga fruit. Medium nose shows coffee, herbs, red/black fruit, baking spice. Palate shows Napa style fruit, power up front then elegance, primary fruit layers, nice depth, proper structure, medium tannins, medium finish. Delicious but for the $$ could use more complexity and finish.

A bit of a disappointment. Fairly non descript nose. Lacked depth and complexity. I expected more.
