Deep ruby color. Medium intensity aromas of ripe black fruits - blackberry, cassis, plum and black cherry with some bramble, woodsy notes. I also get some green bell pepper, black pepper, mint and tobacco. Subtle oak elements. Its full bodied, with rich, supple tannins easy to drink. High alcohol. Maybe missing some depth. This is a good representation of Valley Floor cabs.

Pnp. I concur with La Cave d`Argent. Pretty much nailed it. Can't really add much here except that I think this relatively cheap Napa cab is possibly a bit more balanced and integrated since he gave his score thereby earning it a couple of more points from me. Great qpr. Drink up.

If you want to introduce others to a well made and consistent CA cab, this would be the one. Good fruit, seamless balance, integrated tannins and just a touch of Rutherford dust on the finish.
