Ms. Bubblehead Likes this wine:
September 15, 2018 - Sweet currant, dark cherry jam, and mocha on the nose, on the palate, the fruits were vibrant, also got vanilla and mocha but not too much oak, balanced smooth tannin and structure on the palate, rather elegant for a Napa cab.
Consider most top Napa wines now release price easily set at more than US200, this wine is certainly great value for quality. -

September 14, 2018 - Truly impressed by this wine. For a young napa, this wine was an elegant expression of an extracted cab. Lots of black currant, violets, white chcocolate, vanilla and white pepper. Sweet and ripe but light on its feet. It lacked depth and intensity of a great napa. But it was very nice for a 65usd wine. 91+
