Fully approachable, with sweet, rich, ripe mocha, toasted vanilla and saddle leather notes. A full throttle wine from a hot year, but of course any notion of nuance is lost. A touch bitter on the finish, suggesting it’s time to drink up.

Fantastic wine from an outstanding vintage in Napa. I have always liked the Cuvee Katrina Eileen - this is no exception. Popped the cork and poured a glass - immediately filled with lots of dark fruits, blackberries, cherries, eucalyptus, black currant, and a hint of vanilla. The palate is amazing to say the least, bright fruit, vibrant, depth, concentration. The finish is long.
This has everything you want from a California cabernet. It is firing on all cylinders right now - really really good!

Full bodied, lots of blue and black ripe fruit, without any hard edges. What a great vintage for this winery and wine maker. First glass consumed after 30 minutes in glass -95. Recorked after 2 hours open bottle and consumed last 3 glasses on day two - 96.

Higher acids not has cloyingly heavy cab. Ridiculous amount of sediment though.
