Perfect cork, light bricking, quite a bit of sediment. Decanted and drank over 2 hours, definitely improved with more time. Pretty awesome Napa cab. Dark red fruits, intense complexity and structure. Tannins are soft and well-integrated. Polished and classy. Delicious now but I’d say this has 5-7 years left.

A stunning wine! Similar to the Cade Napa Valley 2010 (see notes) but more defined. Nez complexe de fruits noirs, de barrique, d'épices, de cacao...de sapin et résine. Saveur mentholée au cèdre ! Bien équilibré, complexe, texturé. Persistance aromatique intense incroyable ! Merveilleux ! Parfait et d'ici 1-2 ans. 96+

Solid Napa cab. Needs a couple hours of air time to reach its prime.

Wine is drinking beautifully now. Decanted for 2 hours before pairing with a great rib eye steak. Wine may still develop over the next couple years.

Excellent. Loved the finish which seems completely different from the initial taste.
