This is a wine that'll make you think. Not because it catches your attention or hits all the right notes. It's good cab, no question. The question is, is it more than there? I opened this on a lark. On the nose straight napa cab, lots of dark berries and some oak. On the palette balanced, though nothing really noticeable on the finish. Well made, but it just seems to be there. At its price point I can't say I'm disappointed but seldom do I get an ah-hah! I don't know if this will age well, I suspect tolerably so. Is the style intentionally middle of the road? Will the wine evolve into something really interesting I don't have a strong opinion and maybe that's the most interesting thing about it.

This wine is showing best after 4 hours. Fruits and depth are finally fully coming out. Seems like there is no rush to drink as tannins and acidity are present but not in the way.
