Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 13, 2013 - The wine was very dark ruby in colour and threw some sediment. It benefited from decanting and kept improving as time passed. The wine offered black currant, blueberry, blackberry, red currant, raspberry, herbs, spices, clove, cinnamon, chocolate, mocha and cedar on the nose. On the palate the full-bodied wine showed black currant, dark cherry, blackberry, herbs, spices, dark chocolate, mocha, coffee and creamy vanilla, paired with medium to medium-plus acidity, medium-plus fine tannin, a great, creamy mouthfeel and very good length. This Cab had a lot of restrained power which it released slowly and only partially as time passed. At the same time the wine got creamier and creamier from sip to sip. An impressive, dense, packed, powerful, well-made Napa Cab that will potentially be even better in two years. I liked it a lot and my wife downright loved it. I would start drinking in 2014 and recommend decanting for 1.5 hours. 91+
