Community Tasting Note

    May 28, 2021 - Cellared since release, perfect cork and fill. Rich, ripe dark berry fruits right out of the gate. Full body, very ripe fruit, lush palate feel, just enough acid and tannin to keep it from being flabby, nice finish. Hasn’t really developed any complexity or evolved much since the last bottle opened in 2008 other than the tannins mellowing and the oak receding. Expect it to hold another decade. Classic ripe Napa cab, went great with burgers at the beach. Excellent-outstanding, but does remind that Napa does not turn into Bordeaux with age.
