A friend brought this over for Boxing Day dinner. Delicious, ripe, silky, perfumed but throwing a ton of sediment. Long finish and a generous mouthfeel. Everything you could ask for in a Napa Cab. Drink soon!

Handles the ripe year well. Tannins are still present, and a little "blocky" compared to the Macdonald. Ripe red fruits, hints of rainy fruit but held together well. Nice cab

Decanted three hours. Robust St. Helena Cab with redcurrant, new oak, firm tannins, herbs, anise. Full and luscious on the palate. This will be right in the sweet spot for many Cali Cab lovers, who will rate even higher.

Dark crimson color and aromatics right: blackberry, green pepper and a little minty leather. Sadly, completely broken down in the glass (even with a 2 hr decant) - flabby, soft and sugary sweet on the palate. No rating as I'm guessing this bottle has turned, notwithstanding the incredible cellaring care taken over 10 years. Drink up. Maybe you'll have better luck than we did.

Easily concur with Quiet Lion's review of 2-26-21. Pleasurable and full of rich black and blue berries. Full bodied and delightful!
