Delicious. PnP and let it breathe in the glasses for 40 minutes. Delicious. Smooth, medium plus body, nice round red fruit. Great with a steak. Dry, not much tannin, nice finish.

A nose of dark fruit and spices, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with blackberry, plum, some licorice and spice on finish, just missed being very good. www.winelx.com

Needed some air. Decanted for 40 minutes. Bold, intense, dry. My wife didn't like it as much as Buehler's regular cab or estate cab. Less fruit forward. But it still drinks well and was great with a medium rare ribeye.

Of all the Buehler 13s, this one is the most over-done. Stewed fruit on the nose and palate that never gains structure. Flabby and flat. The regular Napa and Reserve punch much higher than this. Purple in the glass, not too much oak influence on this night. High level of extraction. Not much tannic grip. Don't think holding this will help the situation either.
