Third of three bottles. Essentially pop n pour at a family dinner, last glass was the best an hour in. Has improved on the finish, picking up a bit of spice box and cedar. Decent value for the money

blackberries, raspberry, black currant, chocolate, oak, peppercorn, baking spice and cassis
15's needed a little time to settle, seems to be getting there. well rounded palate, mild intensity, bold fruit. typical TRB but not overly ripe. Pretty standard Napa, not a bad thing.

classic cab on the nose. fruit is nicely balanced with the acidity. medium body. I did not find it overly sweet as others noted, but the wine has had a bit more time in the bottle. not overly complex, lacked secondary aromas and flavors. tannins and alcohol are not an issue at this point in its life cycle. drinks well at present, but there are more satisfying TRB wines at this price point.

Dinner with Friends (211 Clover Lane, Louisville): Popped and poured. Vanilla, cassis and black plummy fruit with chocolate undertones. The palate follows the bouquet. Quite good in spite of its youth.

Wonderful. Had after a bottle of Lewis Cab. This was much better. Wonderful nose and favor.
