I thought this might be a Bordeaux from a ripe vintage. Definitely got the cab influence but there was a pepper green note hiding in the background which made me think it was a blend. Dark and red fruited. A beautiful napa cab.

Coravin. Similar to last bottle opened a few weeks ago. Really most remarkable for its balance, rich but with high acidity and relatively low alcohol. 91

Drank over the evening out of wide bottom decanter. Bit vegetal on the nose. On the palate dark red fruit and black fruit. The fruit is subordinate to the savory elements, minerals, bell pepper, fresh acidity, and structure.

Coravin. 14.1% alcohol. Deep ruby with purple tinged rim, youthful color; aromatic, black fruits with a strong iron and mineral component, blackberry fruit; palate is full bodied, elegant medium to medium-plus acidity, 14.1% alcohol shows just a bit on the palate, tannins well integrated; finish is medium length. Overall a well balanced Napa cabernet at a good price. May age further, but drinking well now. 90 2nd pour on another day: better balanced, showing a bit more integrated alcohol. Definitely improved and bumping this up a point. 90-91

Very classical styles Napa cab. Elegant and structured, with black current and cherry.
