  Consistent with previous note. Fantastic bottle of Napa red with the plushness of the merlot really shining through nicely.

  Complex and layered, evolved with time in the glass.
  
  Decanted for 45 minutes or so. Cherries, dark berries, pencil shavings, that smell get when you visit a garden center with a lot of decorative gardening rock. Fine tannin.

  Popped and poured. Dark crimson color. Nose showed ripe and pure black and red fruits with some blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, a slightly green/herbal note and some toasty oak spice but it's still very primary and dominated by juicy, ripe fruit. Similar flavors on the palate with medium+ acidity and tannins and a smooth mouthfeel and finish. I think the merlot really comes through on this wine. This wine also has a long life ahead of it and will likely be more complex in a few years but there is a lot to like right now if you want a well made, structured, fruit driven Napa red.

  Wow. So much going on here. Garnet. Cedar, blackberry, smoldering ember on the nose. In the mouth, powdery tannins stand out with sour cherry, tobacco and shiitake elements. Medium+ acidity. Everything in perfect balance with a long finish of tar and herbes de Provence. Beautiful in every way.

  PnP to have a taste. Quite approachable but waited another 30-45 before pouring a full glass. Strong hints of raspberry, cherry, mushroom, earth tones and a very slight peppery finish. Medium bodied--not as full as I was expecting but solid effort and very, very good. This improved over the evening and has plenty of years ahead of it. Drink over the next 10. Merlot, Cab, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec
