  Very nice, very typical Napa cab. Some age has treated it well. Blackberries, dark, ripe cherries, brambles, and oak on the nose. Same on the palate, with medium-high acid and medium tannin. Good with steak.

  Another example of a ready to drink 2016. I know it’s a hold year, but have yet to drink one that was too early

  Second bottle of 2 was spectacular. Very robust, deep and rich style which exemplifies this sort of Napa Cab style. Still a bit young, but quite drinkable with an afternoon of breathing. Excellent choice at the $50+ price point for a Napa Cab.

  Fruit-forward style. Licorice and cedar, with plenty of dark fruit. Robust.
  If it had a little more depth and character rather than in your face fruit, it would have garnered a higher rating. Would suggest holding until end of 2022 or 2023 to see if it smooths out and integrates better.

  Decanted 2 hours, though accessible early on. Brambly nose. Sweet black fruit, full bodied, medium acid, dusty slightly astringent tannin. Spice on the finish. The bottle is obscenely heavy, which is always a bad sign that they throw $ into marketing/packaging rather than fruit. Everything else, quite positive.
