Nice classic style Napa cab. Cherry and cedar dominate. A bit on the thin and focused side, but a long enjoyable finish. Enough tannin left that I'd suggest holding for a few more years to let it all come together.

Group last - Full red purple. Interesing spicy briar red fruit aroma with a hint of sweetness. Also had a noticeable green pepper note, along with orange and stewed tomatoes. Nice mouthful of red and black fruits with a sutrdy but round frame. 4/05

I was surprised how much I liked this wine. I was prepared to give them all away, given the uninspiring Parker comments. But this is a very well-rounded Cab, reminiscent of the (WA) Leonetti 1998...heavy fruity, but not overwhelming (more red than black), very well-rounded. A very nice bottle of wine.

Slight green note that keeps this out of the 90s

Tasted at Beltramo's today. Deep red color; dark pepper with some dill on the nose. A woodsy mushroom taste to it.
