PnP’d. Purple color. Had trouble differentiating between Napa, Aussie Shiraz, and Bordeaux. Very similar to Chateau Dassault, which I love. Age did wonders for this wine. Great combination of dark cherries, oak, and tar. Powerful but not terribly deep. Medium minus finish.

Unmistakeably a Napa cab. That said, nothing special, modest nose, tannic, pucker factor? Can sum it up as austere, not rich. As an 08 will give it the benefit of youth and not enough breathing time.

Pleasantly surprised! A little high in OH but nice dark fruit combined with smoke and oak. Pleasing texture but a little harsh on the palate.

Cherry nose, pucker factor from tannins. Solid cab for the price
