Very soft a. Tender on the palate. Taste an smell vanilla. Lasting finish but nothing near spectacular. I think this may be overoaked in my opinion. Fruit is there but doesn’t stand out I get dark fruits on the nose and balanced fruit flavors on the palate. Like I said the wine is soft an that’s a plus in my book For the price I won’t complain. Too much vanilla but other than that I liked it.

Decanted for one hour. Drank over the next hour. Typical fruit forward Napa Cabernet but with surprising depth and richness given the challenges of the vintage. Wine showed its best toward the end of the evening. Good mid- week wine.

Decanted for an hour and consumed over the following two hours. Initial hint of vanilla was replaced with a nice wine that was integrated and well-balanced. Some supporting tannins remain in the background, but the wine is showing to be at the peak drinking window currently. Price "creep" for this entry level Napa Cab makes the QPR neutral or even negative IMHO.

Disappointing. Lacked depth. The 2018 is so much better.

At this stage, simple thick fruit with a touch of oak.
