When first opened, this wine had a strong musky nose and palate. Ninety minutes of decanting resulted in significant improvement. Although some earthiness remained, it blended nicely with intense dark fruit and nice oak accents. Excellent mountain cab.

Good. Probably past its prime. Still, classic cab flavors with notes of tobacco and earth.

Flavors of tobacco, chocolate and leather. Still good tannins, this is yummy.

Unfortunately this bottle was not cellared properly, lots of sediment. However, great Napa Cab, worth seeking out.

Solid dark fruit, with some tobacco and chocolate notes. Well balanced, with some chewy tannins remaining, suggesting a few more years of life.
