Really delicious Napa floor valley Cab. This wine has softened nicely over the past 12 months and is drinking in its prime. Well balanced with fully integrated tannins and acidity. Great blue/black fruit profile with loamy mouthfeel/

Wow, how a year makes a difference. It certainly wasn’t average the first go around but has developed and removed some rough edges. This surprised me and shows a relative newbie the value of cellaring. Well balanced for the most part with tannins coming through at the end. 3 hour decant.
