Checked in another of these, in 375 format. Definitely not as strong as the '13 or '15 in my opinion. More closed, dark fruit and mineral; I really need to sit on my remaining bottles a few more years. If you have these, I recommend a good decant.

Enjoyed the bottle, but I expected more for the price and vintage. Releasing some tertiary notes now, but a little weak and thinning. Short curve on this bottle, but new world is like that sometimes. I wouldn’t purchase another bottle at this price point, but drink ‘em if you got ‘em. There are definitely better Napa 14s in this price range. DJV

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, blueberry and toast. It tastes like blackberry and blueberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Great very smooth creme the cassis. Really shows what napa cabernet is about. Very smooth tannins and ripe fruits, but still balanced.
