Had this at Christmas dinner with prime rib and off the bat the nose was powerful with raspberry blueberry and some mineral notes. Beautiful. Palette was medium to full bodied and had notes of red fruit and some interesting cocoa and mineral. Overall a really good value if you can get it in the low $30s. Most places sell near $50 now and that might be a bit steep but napa cabs these days are all a bit steep for the value. Bought a few just to have some Cali cabs. Excellent wine and I agree with the 92-94 pts from critics.
Very likable from the pnp and enjoyed over 3-4 hours as the Eagles beat the Cowgirls. Basic as basic can be, but balanced, approachable and very nice with Patrick's homemade chicken chili. Nothing bad and nothing exceptional, but all very nice.

Give this about 30 minutes to open up. Firm Tannins, nicely balanced with good structure. Plums, blackberries chocolate and Oak. Drinking nicely.

Reasonable balance of fruit and structure. Currant, herbs, gingerbread. Tannins have a medium grip at present, aiding a tart-like finish.
