This wine is entering a great phase in its development. It has great balance and even though the tannins are still giving it more time to age, it is remarkably drinkable right now. The acidity is also really nice. Frankly, I feel like the 89 CT rating is very low, given my experience with it yesterday, I would see it more as a 92.

Medium body, medium color. A hint of the Coombesville AVA Cabernet profile but somewhat thin. Disappointed for the $$
After further consideration, I think the bottle was flawed. Despite not ever having had it before, it is too off the mark for any version of a napa cab

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, cranberry, red currant and bell pepper. It tastes like dill, raisin, prune, grapefruit, blackberry and cranberry. The body is medium. The wine has linear texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

A friend brought this over and honestly I could not get past the bell pepper green streak that dominated this wine on both the nose and palate.

60 min decant- full bodied, already drinking well. average balance and finish. Should reach prime in 2-3 years and last until 2023
