Decanted one hour. Black color. Great Cab nose. Black fruits dominate. Nice structure and flavor. Mid palate is full but then the finish drops off. Still an excellent wine with Greek lamb chops.

Price on this wine is now $80 a bottle. Way more than the $50 I paid. Might be worth it to Napa lovers but I’ll pass at $80. Decanted one hour. Dark color. Black fruits rule. Old School Napa now filled with sweet, Mega Purple garbage for $100, $150 & $200 prices. I love the Old Napa wines like this one. Great extraction. Dry and full of flavor. Get this style while you can. Lots of flavor layers. Wine has lots of structure to carry it many more years. I have 5 bottles left so can enjoy them for many more years.

Decanted one hour. Same as last bottle. Dark color, mostly black and red fruit (which I like). Nice balance and mouthfeel but is fairy one dimensional but great for the price.

Last night this wine was perfect…balanced, great cab fruit, tannins smooth….in a word…excellent…. It was an excellent QPR vis a vis the mike smith wines that have sharply accelerated in price last few years..
