The age gave it a kick! Nose was full of red fruit- strawberry, raspberry and red plum and flavors followed with red fruit! Delicious!! The acid balance and red fruit flavors were fantastic! A great Pinot! Nose had a sweet essence that was delicious but alluring! This was a treat!

A beautiful wine with promise of only getting better over time. Took about 45 minutes to open up but the nose was full of dark fruit and very little leather and herbs. The flavors followed with dark plum and blackberry fruit and has a beautiful layered tannin base with some great acid connections giving it a fantastic long finish of that dark fruit. A lovely tasteful wine! Napas finest!!

Hitting its stride now. Lots of dark fruit on the nose with some earthy elements - maybe leather. The taste followed with beautiful full bodied dark fruit with some beautiful layered tannins that led you to a glorious finish. The acid balance here made this finish spectacular. A great wine and a beutiful example of Napa Cabernet!! My steak was all that better!!!
