Opened Decanted and allowed 2 hours to open up. Notes of Raspberry, some tobacco, spice and vanilla. Still has some residual tannins might hold on to my last bottle for a couple of years.

Updated tasting note. Wine has more blue fruit than a year ago that is more pronounced. Very nice wine. Although 2017 wasn't a vintage for the ages, this wine holds up and shows very well.

Quite a lovely Napa Cab. Pnp through a Venturi. Notes of dark berries, violets, tar, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Full died goodness on the palate, with medium acidity. It is recommended to decant this for a few hours before serving. Was really nice on day 2 from the bottle. Is it memorable? No. But will you get an honest to goodness wine at this price from Napa? Generally no. That in itself makes this wine special. Repeat buy? Sure.

Sadly, last bottle. This was an immensely enjoyable and budget-friendly Napa Cab. All about the fruit. Some extra nuances and depth would have yielded a higher score, but for the money, I can't complain. Great QPR. Great vintage. Not sure subsequent vintages will be this good.

Lots of blue fruit. Medium+ body and a medium finish. Pleasant sipper.
