  Heavy on the spices and green pepper/weeds. Low on the fruit and depth. It’s a good Cab, but not close to what I expected at this price point or age. I expected a wide range of flavors and a lot more depth and silkiness to the wine. It’s good, but not nearly as good as I had been hoping since I’ve been sitting on it for ten years.

  I love more restrained Napa cab, and mostly drink burgundy and loire.
  
  So that’s the context when I say this: this wine isn’t restrained or Bordeaux-like. It’s weedy, green, and dilute. Don’t know how they fouled up such a good vintage, but I am deeply underwhelmed.

  During a Cab Sav Dinner. Now here is a drinkable Napa Cabernet. Not your sweet bruiser but like in good Medoc fashion, controlled, restraint, yet enough fruit. Nose of dark fruit, some earthy scents intermix with cedar wood. Good volume with freshness and tannic structure to support it.

  this is a classic style california cab done bordeaux, if you like the lower alcohol, smoother, less fruit forward full wine, you will like this.

  Very spicy flavors but very little fruit. My wife likes that but for me it has no real taste. Could age another year or two, we may be drinking a bit too soon.
