One-hour decant through a screened and aerating funnel. Bold dark berry aromas during decant. No sediment. After resting: lots of dark fruits (blackberry, plum and boysenberry) and toast. Smooth wine featuring the aforementioned fruits and a mineral edge. Went well with both steaks and a garlic cheese stuffed chicken breast. Nice finish. Will last a while. Glad I bought a case.

This bottle was more complete than the last one I had in February , Subtle ripe front with nice oak tones to the finish . No reason not to drink now thru 2024/6

Any Napa cab that doesn’t taste like a complete friut bowl gets a nod. This was a pretty typical Napa cab, less in your face than usual . Drink now thru 2024
