  Consumed over 2 days (vacuvined), note from day 2. Nose: Medium expressiveness, blue & black fruit - plum/black berry, Asian spice and eucalyptus. Palate: Medium-full bodied, spicy dark fruit attack, acid driven mid-palate lift,fruit and spice persists through the back-end where earthy characteristics join in. Finish: Medium-plus length dominated by blue and dark red fruit and spice. My last of 3 bottles consumed over 3 years, each drinking superbly. At less than $30 one of the best Napa Cabernet values around if you can find any.

  Blind Wine Tasting (Home): Well-liked among the crowd, but necessarily a consensus favorite. Black currant and blackberry, mildly earthy in the background, fruit forward, medium/full bodied. Finish a bit disjointed, might be in a dumb phase, but CA roots showed through nicely. Liked this more a few years ago as it was more silky, classic CA red.

  Pop and pour, consumed over 4 hours. Nose: Medium-plus expressiveness, fresh baked blueberry pie, lilac bush, and spearmint - very nice. Palate: Medium-full bodied, ripe blueberry, raspberry, and plum attack, enough mid-palate acid to balance the sweet up-front fruit, great mid-palate flavor persistence builds in intensity thru the back-end with the spearmint making a re-appearance and dominating a medium-plus length finish. This is drinking extraordinarily well right now, hard to believe I picked this up for $25 per - still have one left.

  Excellent pop and pour. Great structure and balance. Ripe plum with a hint of tart and subtle earthiness to the finish. Need to find more of this.

  Popped and poured, consumed over 4 hours. Nose: Medium expressiveness, dark flowers, black raspberry, and saddle leather. Palate: Sweet plum and raspberry attack, spicy mid-palate lift, builds in intensity thru the back-end, everything is in balance and nicely integrated from from front to back. Finish: 30+ seconds of spicy dark red and black fruit. An excellent example of a well balanced Napa cabernet, great value also.
