  2+ hour decant. This wine is drinking incredibly well right now. Still has lush mountain cab fruit with a succulent mellow oak flavor that pops in the mid-palate. We think this will continue to drink excellent for another 5 years.

  dark red, slight bricking on the rim - subtle nose of red fruit with nice touch of oak - full rich cabernet fruit in the mouth, with excellent balance of fruit, acidity and tannin - smooth 15-20 sec finish - plenty of fruit and structure to develop for many more years, but drinking so well now I'm not sure I would want to wait

  Great example of 2012 Napa cab. Delicious fruit nose with cassis and plum on the tongue.

  Purple and opaque. The nose is rich red and black fruit, with a healthy helping of vanilla. The nose is dominated by cassis, red cherries and vanilla that are consistent on the palate. The fruit on the nose an palate is ripe. The finish is lingering red cherries. Tannins are moderate. Acidity is low. Alcohol is moderate plus.
  
  Drinking extremely well. My last bottle but the best by far; funny how that happens. 5+13+17+8=93
