Good value in a TRB wine. This reminds me a bit of Round Pond’s estate cab, and is definitely a solid Napa cab at a nice price point. No hurry on this one, as it has the structure to drink well for at least 3-4 more years.

Dark fruits, blackberries on the lovely nose. The palate shows bittersweet chocolate, black cherries, blackberries, coffee, Great texture. Nicely balanced acidity and polished tannins. Finishes long and lovely with dark fruits and chocolate. No real heat from the 14.5% ABV. Will drink well for several more years

Lovely effort on this wine and it clearly has a lot of life ahead. Pure fruit with dark plums and black raspberry notes. Cedar and oak provide backbone and structure. I popped and poured and it opened up in the glass in a short amount of time. Nice spice notes as well add some complexity and nuance. Drinking well now with good things developing down the line.
