Not a fan of Napa cabs but every once in a while i am in the mood for one and this is what I reach for. Not grippy, pleasantly fruit forward, not overdone, silky finish. Like it!!!!!

Still a hint of green on the nose even after 90 mins in the decanter but not as strong as when pulling the cork. Eucalyptus too.
Interesting flavor profile as this is kind of watery across the palate; while the tannins are quite noticeable front-to-mid palate, they're approachable. Blue fruit, granite, tin and a bit hot.
Softens a bit more w time; decent wine, solid QPR, but nothing special.

Truly a remarakble wine that can only get better with some aging. Dark, dark purple, almost opaque, slight oak and vanilla on the nose, rich, rich front and mid palate and some mininally harsh tannins in the finish that blew off with time. At least for now, I would recommend a 1-2 hour decant based on my experience with this bottle.

Medium purple color. Inviting nose of dark black fruit, oak, vanilla. This is one of those cabs that seems to be made to drink early but could certainly benefit from a few more years in the bottle. It got better the second day with a bit more blackberry and toasted oak notes that were very pleasant. Good QPR cab.
