Lovely stuff! I'm getting plum and blackberry rather than black currants leading the dance, along with leather and cigarbox and some oak. Soft tannins. Long finish. This wine is in a good place right now, you could keep it a while but I don't think it will improve much. Auction price was $15 and a great value; wine-searcher sees it around that price at a New Jersey shop.

A nose of some dark fruits and spices, garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, plum, some licorice with spice on finish. www.winelx.com

Another great bottle and experience. Great as a PNP and went very well with grilled filet with blue cheese. Sweet fruit, chocolate and a touch of vanilla. Medium finish and a crowd pleaser for sure. Tough to beat for Napa Cab at this price point. Yum!

aromatic with black fruits, silky tannins and a full body with an excellent length. prototypical napa cab with chocolate, vanilla. shows its vintage and likely can be aged for another 5-10 years. Had it after some opus one overture and it held on its own. So yes fruit forward but not jammy. amazing QPR. A good party wine.

As others mentioned, an excellent wine especially for the mid twenties price point. Decant for an hour to allow it to fully open. Case worthy purchase. Grade of A-/A

Really nice smooth and flavorful PNP and QPR @$25. Would not hesitate to pick up more. Red fruits, with some chocolate and a hint of oak and vanilla. Enjoyable.

Excellent wine. Definitely worth twice the price. Classic Napa Valley Cab. Good, robust fruit up front, without being a "fruit bomb" and nice vanilla and oak with soft tannic finish. I would definitely buy again.

A very nice Cabernet. Drinking well with a bit of decanting time. Well worth the price.

Drinking well right now. Served at 65F. Blackberries and cream, very solid. A little more black fruit than most Napa cabs imho.
