Bought more of these at auction. One hour slo-ox, drank over 2 nights. Impressive even at $140 price point. Full bodied, lots of sentiment, dark cherry, boysenberry, blueberry, cedar, black licorice. Mild fully integrated tannins with a freshness unlike many other 07 Napa Cabs I’ve tasted in the past several years.

1 hour slo-ox. Deep aromatics, Sweet and lush black fruit (blackberry dark cherry boysenberry) and balanced by a big spice cabinet and well integrated tannins. Really a pretty wine and still on the young side. Tasty- made me wish I had another. 96+

Only a brief 30min decant. Feel free to go 1-2h. Ripe and ultra-intense with dark and red cherry, black currant, lots of dried herbs, cinnamon, ginger bread, black coffee and cedar forming a varied, sexy and super polished bouquet. Great tension and intensity also on the palate. Fruity and lush, almost vulgar – and I like vulgar. Another great 2007 from the Valley.

Similar notes as my 7-5 post. Double decant and.drank over 3 hours. Beautifully balanced between acid, tannin, fruit, and wood spice.

Still holding up very well. Lots of sediment however-I'd suggest running it through a filter of some sort.
