Thick dark maroon. Earth, dark berries, and cedar nose. Medium bodied, plum, blueberries, herbs and spices, perfect tannins, graphite, good acid, and a long delicious finish. Best on day 2. Lots of sediment.

Wine needs filtering. Lots of sediment. Wonderful aroma as you decant. Wonderful at first glass, but after breathing an hour it really smoothed out. Wonderful fruit with great balance. It is drinking fantastic right now.

Mighty fine Cabernet. Full on the nose, with eucalyptus, woodsmoke, dark berries and cocoa. Wonderful on the palate, feeling light and fairly fresh but with immense flavour intensity - espresso and blackcurrant coulis, mmm. Ridiculously long finish, too. Yes.

Excellent terroir-driven Cab. Cathy makes such good wine, expressing what Napa is capable of, but which is too infrequently realized. Well integrated with some mint and floral notes on entry, cherry kirsch, blackberry and other dark fruit mid-palate, and orange bitters, cardamom and a hint of licorice on the finish, with moderate acidity and polished tannins that have just a nice bit of grip. In an excellent drinking window.
