Very sweet oak and cherry fruit on the nose. Light-to-medium bodied with almost bubblegum, soft sweet creamy fruit on the palate, with lots more sweet oak and moce. Not a lot of depth. disliked by many of the blind tasters. Drink up!

Decanted and drank over 2 days. Limited nose after 2rhs of air. As some have noted, a little thin in the glass. 89 on first impression as this may be taking a while to come around. Balanced, soft beautiful wine. Needs 3hrs air minimum. No change day #2.

Got this bottle from a guy who worked for me a few years ago when he went to Napa. Held it for a few years in the cellar and pop and poured to a dinner crowd that was wowed by this wine. A really nice blend with smooth, silky tannins and well integrated oaky vanilla notes. Great bottle and I followed it with a 2010 Napa Cab from Madrigal that was a real letdown.
Solid wine but not as good as it used to be with Mitch Cosentino out of the picture. Not a good QPR. Can find much better blends at the same or lower price point. Drink now.
