Beautiful fragrant nose of ripe raspberries, smoke and cedar. Dark and dense but perfectly balanced with nice acidity to give it freshness and vibrancy. Loam, tar and mint on the palate. Superfine tannins on the long finish. Gorgeous wine.

Absolutely outstanding. Let breath for two hours. A very rich full bodied flavorful cab. Smooth with a hint of berries and earthy and no issue with tannins. Have had a few100 point cabs and it ranks right up there. Timing was spot on for this 07.

First time I’ve had a wine from this producer and it’s delicious! Dark color, deep brooding, complex and earthy flavors. Dark blackberries and prunes. There is tobacco and cedar. Tannins are a bit dusty but not overly drying. No overt signs of heat despite the 15% octane. This is in a great window now but will undoubtedly last another 10+ years.

Beautifully ready to drink. No flaws. Minimal sediment. Low tannin/acid. Medium alcohol. Long finish. Full of flavor. Beautiful color in the glass. Ready to go.

Solid Napa Cab. Old style - not overly sweet or fruity. Very well made.
