Decanted this for over an hour. Drank over a dinner with steak. This is big wine but I ended up very much enjoying it. A lot of structure to it with some big fruit up front. However the finish is softening and I very much enjoyed this wine. Feels like it improved over the night with more air time. My sense is this is still youthful with time left to mature but is drinking welll not - just not a small wine...

This wine was solid but not at all exceptional. I found it to be a smooth, easy drinking merlot but it came up lacking in terms of depth and complexity. I would drink this again but expected more at this pricepoint.

This is a beautiful Cabernet. Decanted and drank with beef tenderloin. I found this wine drinking very well right now. Smooth, some nice fruit up front with a long, elegant finish. When Napa Cab is really good there is almost a creamy quality to it and this wine had it.
