At our last tasting of this release, four years ago, I wrote, "At fifteen years, this is aging very nicely and still holding well within its drinking window. Consistent with earlier tasting notes, dark garnet color, full bodied, bright cedar, cinnamon spice, raspberry, and hint of mocha on a big, long silky smooth tannin finish." https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2021/07/team-beef-tenderloin-dinner-features.html

Decanted one hour. Nice dark purple color with spicy/berry nose. with a smooth finish. Fruit is clean and pure. Not as much spice as when tasted from barrell. An enjoyable cab franc from a fun Napa vineyard

Seems to be fading pretty fast. I would drink these up.
