  Deep purple in color and very aromatic with blackberries, boysenberry black cherry and cinnamon on the nose. On the palate there are layers of black fruit- boysenberry, blackberry, spice, mineral, toasted oak and cigar box. Full bodied without being heavy or overextracted and it has a long finish. Drinking well but this certainly can age but I need to drink while my taste buds still work!

  This wine is drinking great almost upon opening. Still going strong and evolving 4-5 hours later. Smooth and balanced fully showcasing all of the Napa Cabernet fruit. Excellent! Drink or Hold. Should continue to improve.

  This is everything a Napa Cab can be! Every nuanced note presents itself assertively yet remains an integrated element of the harmonious whole. The nose provides scents of roses, wildflowers, blueberries, and raspberries, with hints of cigar box and loamy soil. The palate is rich with black and red fruit in evocative layers. It’s perfectly fresh, smooth as silk and extremely long. I agree with Wine Advocate’s assessment of this wine’s perfection. I simply can’t imagine anything better.
