Ruby/rust with staining - nice classic Cab nose, cigar box and tobacco - loads of sweet fruit on entry, that quickly morph to sweet pipe tobacco - nice mid-weight, nothing ponderous here - there are really nice reedy notes here, that I personally love because I consider them "true" Cab flavours, which add to the food-matching capability. The 11% Cab Franc asserts itself a bit, in a very positive way. Super sensual mouthfeel, beautiful, resolved tannins, good to very good length. Delicious. More, please.

91. Nose of raspberries and toast. Very well-rounded wine with notes of vanilla, raspberry, and leather. Has depth from beginning to end.

Aging nicely. Muted dark fruits, with leather. Smooth. Not exciting, but enjoyable, especially with steak.

Black fruit, green veggies, cedar, tobacco, smokey oak. B+/A-
It’s a wine which was under developed for a Napa Cab, almost reminds me of aged Bordeaux. Not great, but not bad.
