Dark ruby/garnet in color w a hint of bricking Opened in the glass for over an hour The fruit really came alive, over ripe black cherry, blackberry and blueberry jam, hints of eucalyptus and cocoa and coffee 14.8% abv I find a lot of Napa cabs turn port like w age if they are over 14.5% This has its notions of that It probably woulda been prime 2 or 3 years ago, but it’s still really good, and still has life in it. The tannins are there, I’d say med plus, but well balanced and integrated The finish is quite long as well. This is a very enjoyable wine, and needed some age to calm down to its current state. It’s still a very big wine, and classic aged napa cab if I was tasting blind
