August 28, 2019 - Coravin'd over several weeks. Big dark fruit that integrates nicely with time in the glass. Nose of black plum, cassis, oak, mushroom and dusty earth funk and spices. Love the layers of flavors, even if dark fruit, oak and heat overwhelm on the finish. Could go another 5-10 years for fruit to mellow and secondary / tertiary flavors to develop. For the price, a very good Napa Cab.

February 23, 2017 - I agree with prior reviewer. Nice wine with at least a year or two left.

March 18, 2016 - Disagree with the some of the other postings. This wine is drinking nicely, and will continue to age a few more years. Nose subtle hints of green, leather, tobacco and ripe cherry. Palate same green, leather, and tobacco notes, not overly chewy. Finish is a bit quick, but not lacking. Drink now or over next year or so.
