October 26, 2014 - Musty nose of earth and wet leaves that yielded to dark fruit and mocha notes on the palate. Tannins still firm, but integrating well.

May 31, 2014 - Not what I expected from a napa cabernet. Tastes more like a merlot or Syrah, very light with a long finish. Tannins are understated and after a short decant the first glass tasted like the last. Very good but not exceptional.
