  Opened by the fire. Incredible dark berry fruit character, lush with some fine structure. So appealing to the palate, cinnamon , tobacco, worn leather, semi-dark chocolate with good acidity. Tannins are softer providing an awesome finish. Bottle finished way too fast.
  Winemaker : TRB

  Three hour decant. Very deep plum color. Blackberry, sugar plum, biscotti, cocoa powder, baking soda, and subtle pistachio on the nose. Smooth, very dry, muscular palate, with grippy, mouth coating acidity. Firm, full tannins on the very long finish.
  
  This is a masculine wine that begs for refined steakhouse (and the steak to go with). Very youthful and could use another year or an eight hour decant.

  My last bottle of this vintage, and, well, I'm not exactly upset about it.
  
  Decanted for 90 minutes and dove right in.
  
  This lacked much in terms of complexity. Primarily fruit driven, medium to low mid, and little to no tannins to suggest this has structure or longevity.
  
  I really wanted to like this, with the hope to backfill some decently priced (by Napa standards) bottles to act as cellar defenders.
  
  Needless I guess to say, but this wine wont fit that bill.
  
  Not sure what has gone wrong here (solid terroir, great winemaker, fantastic vintage), but something hasn't really clicked with this one.
  
  91 for now, and maybe a tick higher if I consider the possibility that its in a really off phase. Meh, cant win them all...

  Others' notes are spot-on. A solid, bold Napa cab, but to me it's a bit lacking in vision/originality at this stage. Will see what happens with more bottle age.

  14.5% abv. Dark crimson, dark core. Blackberry, sour red cherry, earthy green underbrush, soy notes. Med weight, juicy acidity, plenty of fine grained tannins, finishes with espresso and spicy Christmas cake flavors; med+ length. Enjoyable, unique flavors and style, entering good drinking window.
