Color: Deep Purple Nose: Once it settled down, it classic Napa aromas with notes of huckleberry, cassis, clove and nutmeg. Palate: Full bodied, rich, well balanced tannins with a bit of heat Finish: Long lasting with some heat Decanting: Decanted ~ 1 hour Thoughts: Going from memory on these tasting notes. The wine was very good after letting decant for ~ 1 hour. First taste is was very hot, which mean high alcohol, but reduced after a while. I would really like to taste this wine with less alcohol. Still a very good wine.

Best cab I tried on our recent trip out. Great mountain fruit and structure. Long smooth finish. Just as good or better on day 2. Put some pricier stuff from Del Dotto to shame.

Solid, big cab drinking very nicely right now.
Long finish, "chewy" style, with nice fruit. Wish I had more.
