Very disappointing and way overpriced. Varietally correct, elegant and very understated. VERY understated. Thos wine lacked complexity, had no oomph, and while quite drinkable, I kept asking, “where’s the beef”? A good $30 cabernet IMO, if priced as such. Have had many better 2014 napa cabs, most of which are drinking very nicely now.

Absolutely delicious right now. Beautiful black fruits with a hint of peppercorn, balanced, no tannins, I would think this is in its prime. This is in the claret style of zin.

Best Napa cab I have drank in a while. Double decanted 4 hrs, it was hitting on all cylinders. Tannins resolved, mostly red fruits, long, delicious.
