Very nice Cabernet. Tasted against a 20+ year old Chianti and tasters had trouble determining which was which! Dark red fruits balanced by earth tones in a way I don't often find in Napa Cabernets. Very good structure and long finish. Think this will hold up well for several more years.

Gloria's 50th. Honestly, it got overshadowed by the '02 Dominus but was a great foil to the '13 Frank Cab. Well integrated, so smooth and had amazing balance with fruit and acid in a beautiful place. First Snowden for us and I like the style alot.

Twin’s 5th Birthday!! PnP. Dark red color. Awesome nose of oak, dark cherries, and subtle hints of vanilla. Wine has medium depth with cherries, anise, and earth. Finish is a little harsh and sour with some tea, but very good for the price. Probably at prime drinking age. Glad I have 3 more bottles!
This blend (76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot) is really spot on. It has lovely acid backing the plum/black cherry luscious fruits. It is one of the best balanced Cabernets we have had in a long time, especially from Napa. We decanted for three hours after reading other reviews—that is the TICKET! Decanting is the pathway to happiness, folks! We loved this wine and for the price (we got it for $40 at LA Wine Company) we would definitely buy it again.
