WOW...great bottle of wine! Full bodied, NO jammyness here. Balanced fruit with a softness that is most pleasurable. Looking forward to doing this again. Dark fruit and a plum.

On the palate: Velvety entrance evolving on a backbone of acidity lingering on granular tannins with touches of cherry pie, cassis, plums, fern and tobacco.

Decanted and return to bottle 3 hours later. Clear w/very minor fine sediment. Med bright purple. Nice rich Cab nose. This wine is at it's peak. Fully integrated and super smooth, trannins resolved with just enough at finish to make it serious. Definitely Napa, dark fruit profile. Nothing off. $74

One hour decant. Stewed blackberry, black cherry, masking tape and vanilla frosting on the nose. Super dry, grainy palate, with healthy, lingering acidity. Full tannins on the medium long finish. This is drinking very nicely, with just a hint of age on the nose.

Napa trip November 2020; 10/31/2020-11/14/2020 (Napa, CA): Not going to rate as the wine had been open over a day. Lots of black licorice and earthy notes, not quite what I expected.
