  More earthiness that your typical Napa, which is why I like it as much as I do. Cherries and dark fruit on the fore, followed by crushed fall leaves and clay with vanilla on the finish.

  Echoing others, good QPR, solid cabernet if somewhat over oaked. Dark plum purple color, opaque, nice berried nose, cassis, oak, spice and dark cocoa envelop a rich and extracted wine. I enjoyed the 2014 better: it seemed a far more refined, layered and silky wine. This wine may very well develop over time, long decant or lay it down for several more years.

  PnP, enjoyed over a few hours. Long legs, red and black berries on the palate, oaky nose. Good attack and midpalate, finish gets a bit woody and unpleasant. Decent QPR and will keep an eye out to try again.

  Well integrated oak. Very nice dark ruby color. Thought nose was muted a bit. Also was expecting more intensity of fruit. Just like the previous notes state. This needs 2-4 years minimum to lay down. Decent now but see it's potential. 90-91

  Strong tannins. Blackberry nose. Quintessential Napa cab for decent price.
