Fruit forward with red & black berry nose & palate. Tannins on the harsh side and not well integrated. Much better on day 2 with better balance. Suggest a lengthy decant on this one.

Initial impressions very mixed, subtle red fruit nose, but fruit forward with blue & red berries. 90 min later, the fruit has faded and tannins take over. Recommend popping & pouring & enjoying early. After an hour+, expect a tannic edge and short finish.

Wow this has improved since 2 years ago. Just starting to shed its primary fruit layers and have the secondary/age notes peak out. If you have a 2+ bottles crack one now to check in! Great napa cab for the price.

Light bodied and red fruited for a Napa cab. Hint of graphite, but mostly primary. Is it good? It’s good. Balanced. Decent value.
