If this ever had any hard edges they are gone now, soft, mellow and simple like a Merlot. Color is still bright. Nose is subdued. These were meant to be consumed young.

Decanted 2 hours after initial taste was too oak-heavy. Nice, simple fruit forward wine, with lots of sweet plum and berry, vanilla, and oak. Okay for $26 but seems more like a sub-$20 drink. Drink now - 2020.

Just a great example of a fruit-forward but very balanced Napa cab. Rich, dark fruit but not a fruit bomb, IMO, due to a nice tannic structure. Surprisingly drank well right out of the bottle but only got better as the night went on. Definitely a crowd pleaser or something to just sip on at home on the weekend. Has a couple of years left at least, but drinking well now.
