Third wine of the night with my brother and sister inlaw. So not extensive analytical notations made! Good but seems young, very jammy, needs a little time, but if you like ‘em young.

Decanted 90 min; Very fruit-forward, with flavors of black cherry and currants, eucalyptus, and oak and vanilla flavors on the finish. Was far more enjoyable on day 2, so may need additional time to further integrate. A fairly sweet tasting wine, this did better when paired with some food. Drink now - 2028.

Pnp. It's like biting into a blackberry bush. Fresh, juicy blackberries, the seeds, and the leaves from the bush...it's all there. Medium acid and tannin. It's not a blockbuster, but an enjoyable bottle that doesn't need too much thought...better than I expected. This can go another handful of years. Drink now - 2029. 90 points.

Full bodied, black fruit, forest floor, spices and oak. Quite dry for Napa. Grippy tannins and good acidity. More old world style than Napa. Quite interesting

Very good red California wine. So very drinkable. Delicious plus the price at under $40 make it a real keeper.
