At this point, a nice surprise. Pasts its peak? Oh sorry but I I'm glad to inform you this bottle was delicious and ready to be kept a few years more. Translucent cherry colour. Meaty nose with those herbal notes that CF always brings. On the palate still acid and with those mellow tannins that many really appreciate. Dense, silky texture. If were a blind tasting it could be easily a Bordeaux growth.
En este momento, una bonita sorpresa. ¿Pasadita? Lo siento pero no esta botella está lista y puede aguantar algunos años mas. Color cereza transparente. Nariz a carne con esas notas herbales que la CF da siempre. Todavía ácida y con esos taninos melosos en boca que a tantos nos gustan de verdad. Textura densa, a seda. Si fuera una cata a ciegas podría fácilmente ser un Burdeos gama alta.

Magnum. I was pleasantly surprised by this wine. not a very good vintage for Napa Cab, but this didn't have the green notes that I have tasted in many 2000's. It was in a nice place as far as fruit and tannin balance.

Good wine. A little mellow for a Napa Cab, but a good all-around wine. Not overly exciting, but good fruit. A little heavy alcohol and overpowers some of the flavor, but still a good wine for the money.

Funny wine. Out of the bottle - only 10-15 minutes in the glass, it drank wonderfully. Nothing fancy. Good berry nose, some alcohol on the finish, but not overwhelming. In fact, the finish wa suprisingly long. After an hour, this turned. Hot alcohol and no finish. 83-85.

Nothing exciting here. I an alcoholic flavor that overwhelms the fruit coupled with an acidic finish. The nose offers strong cherry notes, similar but not as strong as cough syrup. Served with grilled lamb chops and brown rice. I was given this bottle as a gift. I don't know the price nor rating, I just know I wouldn't but the wine....unless it is under $14.

Earthy nose, the body is just about gone on this one. Very acidic.
