Beautiful garnet color, blackberry and earthy on the nose, lively fruit forward on the palate but clearly showing a balance from some age. Smooth, crisp finish - right in it's prime drinking window now.

Decanted for 2 hours, probably would have benefited from longer. Notes of ripe cherry, tobacco, and cocoa that softened over time. Once this opened up, it was a fantastic expression of what a Napa Cab can be, keeping my remaining bottles for a couple more years to let them develop even more.
