A beautiful wine for the price. I am scoring pretty high because the qpr is excellent. Intense on the nose with layers of dark fruit and some secondary oak notes coming through with a little vanilla and spice. Big initially and carries to the mid palate into the finish. Lush, thick, and hedonistic. Pure pleasure and not going to compete with the complexity of some bordeaux I have at the same price but went great with a charred ribeye. Will buy more because it won't disappoint for the next 5 to 10 years.

Beautiful, deep garnet color. Coats the glass. Was more acidic and showing tannins about an hour after opening. An hour later that’s all gone. Nice, typical, Napa Cab. Well balanced. Enough fruit but not sweet. Really enjoying it.

Solid cab from Anna Monticelli. Cherry, blackberries, and cassis with hint of Oak. Medium to full bodied, medium acidity, ripe tannins. Long finish with more bright fruit. Excellent choice for a mid level Napa Cab.
