Different story from when I tried this about a year ago - that time was pop and pour - this time our friends had decanted the wine for a few hours before we tried it - so much better. Seemed mature and balanced, still a new world cab but with everything in its place and drinking very nicely. Ready to drink now, but do yourself a favor a give it a very long decant.

Pnp, another big napa cab, dark fruits, drinking a bit more on the sweeter side than I prefer. More of a ripe, fruit forward style, without a lot of acid to provide freshness and energy.

(Orin Swift Cabernet Sauvignon Mercury Head) Pure cassis, berry nose; rich but poised tart black fruit, tart berry palate with a touch of eucalyptus; medium-plus finish
