See previous notes. Nice aged Cab notes on the nose and palate. Downgrading from my last review as this has lost some fruit. The tannins, while nice, are a bit more predominant given the loss of fruit. Finish is also shorter than expected. Absolutely nothing wrong with this bottle, but a bit past peak from a fruit standpoint. 90-92 pts. PJP 2015.

Nice wine! We drank the last of the 3 bottles we had tonight with a marinated bbq flank steak tonight. It's drinking very nice, well balanced wine with a nice smooth finish. I would not wait much longer as I think it's close to its peak now.

Pop and pour. Followed over a few hours. My favorite red wine of the night. Well integrated oak, with good spice, some herbaceous notes, and dark fruits. Excellent acidity and very soft on the palate, this finishes in a slightly acidic way, which actually works really well. Not so much tannin apparent, but very soft dusty tannins appear with a swish; this is drinking very well right now.

Showing very well right now. Exactly what I want with a good Napa cab - excellent integration of fruit, tannins, oak, and acidity. Exhibits the "dusty tannins" and touch of graphite typical of Rutherford fruit. PJP 2014.

Nice wine. Would probably benefit from additional time in the cellar.
