Deep dark red, brownish hues. Nose is rich, bold, strong red ripe cherry fruits and blueberries with pleasant oak notes. Well balanced. On the palette, echos the same nose of red fruits, oak and some bell peppers with slightly grippy tannins and a smooth finish. 13 years of age and it still can easily go a few more years without any problems. A nice strong and solid 2005 Napa Cab Sav.

PnP. Well-balanced nose and palate of red berries and black fruit, mocha, and a touch of violet & fresh earth. Tannins were soft with a medium long finish. Worth the wait!

Lots of blackberry; like a wild Merlot or a restrained Zinfandel. Really nice, but pretty hot and crazy until 45 minutes of decanting have passed.

Drinking quite well now. Folks who like purple colored, well oaked cabs with a smoothe finish will really enjoy this wine.
