At HoPR. Beautiful refined nose of cherr and cassis, palate deep and rich with absolutely zero heaviness. An excellent wine of pleasure with silky tannins that melted in the company of prime rib. A very fine Napa showing.

3 hour slo-ox. Full throttle tannins remained tight even after an hour or so later. Recorked and enjoyed the following evening: Sumptuous delivery of predominantly black and some reddish-purple core fruit. Nice spice and earth on the tail end of its silky finish. Fresh and concentrated, a very impressive rutherford cab that impressed all with its intensity, complexity and youthfulness. Try opening the next bottle the night prior and sampling it starting in the morning. Or hold for 2-5 years.

Opened in the bottle for a few hours. Not yet ready at this stage. Sour cherry, plum, bitter dark chocolate, new leather and dusty earth. Actually drinks like a full bodied Tuscan wine. Give it five plus years more as it’s too astringent now.
