  Needed a pnp after a long car trip and this did the trick. Took a few minutes to open and big dark and initially bitter tannins softened quickly to just a lovely big Napa wine. Dark fruit, saline, no jamminess. Just perfect to scratch that quick glass of cab itch!

  Excellent wine. Full of stone fruit flavors. Drink now or save ... good either way

  A WTSO special. A really solid and well made Napa Cabernet. Drink now for the hedonistic profile or wait 10 years for an evolved Napa cab.
  
  Color. Saturated purple
  
  Nose. Cedar, cassis, cherry, cocoa, Italian seasoning spices.
  
  Palate. Cassis, cocoa, rich tannic structure. Finish isn't terribly long, but that's okay.

  Decanted for 90 minutes. Still quite tight and young. Nice fruit-forward wine, but with lots of remaining tannins. Feels like it needs another couple years to soften and come into balance.
