October 6, 2017 - Final bottle, best bottle. Commercial wine, but a sophisticated tannic structure. Youthful and new world in style, but this does have a sense of class about it. In the context of Napa, this is good value (although I would struggle to find a sense of Napa terroir in this), but perhaps one could find better value from Australia or Chile, in terms of Cabernet. Having said that, this was almost outstanding, to my taste, and certainly did not feel at all over-priced.

September 28, 2017 - Nose of dark cherries and spice. Palate - dark fruit . Drank over two nights, first night was very acidic, quite harsh. Second night improved substantially - fruit more pronounced, acidity had moderated. I agree with other reviewers, this, to my palate, isn't a 92 point wine.

July 11, 2017 - Drinking far better than the previous bottle. This is balanced, ripe and high in alcohol. There is a nice sense of style and the fruit quality is excellent. Very black and boysenberry, very true to Cabernet. Nice structure . It certainly has class. My main quibble is that it is slightly overpriced, by world standards.

June 11, 2017 - A nose of dark fruit and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, raspberry, licorice and spice on finish, your average Cab. www.winelx.com
