  Popped and poured. Raspberry compote and violets on the nose. The wine shows ripe black currant, tobacco weed, licorice and a little tar. Full bodied but also quite smooth and silky this is drinking beautifully now.

  15.2% abv. I've enjoyed this vintage several times now. Really one of the best Napa cabs you can find. Ripe, pure and rich with a long juicy finish. Just the right acidity. Sour cherry notes. A benchmark wine for me. Best to enjoy the entire bottle on day 1. Best then.

  Absolutely beautiful. Rich decadent fruit with Tokalon spices and lovely cab franc on mid palate. So glad to have waited.

  Had after the 08 Cardinale. Both were a great experience. Pure, rich, concentrated fruit. Dark and more inky than sweet. Great on days 1 and 2.
