  The king of all grapes is on full display here,
  Lush ripe fruit with a hint of oak, good structure front to back.
  Drink now thru 2028

  Deep, dark reddish-purple in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, boysenberries & dark plums with overtones of earthy/dusty notes, mint, cocoa, herbs, spices & oak/vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth texture, plush, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, boysenberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging.

  Full flavored Napa Merlot with enough structure in the back end to keep this interesting.
  Needs time

  Smells a little like popcorn. Rich and full and round. Soft but not overly so on the palate. Just a touch green on the nose.

  PNP. Deep dark ruby magenta color. Blackberry, plum, and milk-soaked graham cracker. Dry, dusty palate. Firm, lower intensity tannins on the longish finish.
  
  I’m never expecting to enjoy these as much as I do. It’s like lifted Caymus (more elegant and nuanced). Just a touch extracted.
