Typical nappa cab, things are starting to integrate well, touch of oak, lots of green pepper, I would give it 3-5 years and it will be banging for the $$

Dark, dark red; even purple/brownish cast to it. Big tears on the bowl of the glass. Big fruit in the nose, with big-time chocolate. Quite rich in the mouth with a lot of cocoa powder. This is flamboyant and sexy. Not exactly a textbook Napa Cabernet, it is nevertheless quite enticing, tasty and attractive to drink. 5-13-17-8: 93/100.

Popped and poured. Amazing how closely this resembled the '18 Ch. Corbin I tasted right before this. Both had some nice cocoa/chocolate notes and fine tannins, although this is a bit chunkier, and the nose slightly less pure. Color much the same, too. Amazing. I prefer the Corbin, but not by a ton. And I'm not sure I'd be able to ID them blind if tasted side by side. 5-11-17-8: 91/00.

Decanted approx 2 hrs. Very nice High QPR. Good pickup on cassis. This was bright and fresh - not overly tannic. Must buy more.
