  Lots of energy for a '17 Napa Cab, one of the more vibrant ones I've had in this price range. Some floral aromas and something more that I can't quite place, possibly licorice as mentioned elsewhere. Fruit doesn't stand out with this wine but there's some raisiny grape and a hint of leather on the palate. Big, hot finish with moderate tannins and a lot of mouth tingling acidity on the 20+ second finish. Could score a few points higher if the fruits had come through more but nothing to complain about here especially given the vintage.

  Floral aromas with blackberry and licorice on the nose. Black cherry and raspberry flavors with oak and grippy tannins and a medium length finish.

  Very dark color, slightly fruit forward, very nice pleasing finish - should get even better over time.

  First bottling and first taste for this one courtesy of HMC.....standard cab nose of briar and pencil but a bit muted on the pnp. Fruit is darker, black raspberry. Good weight, moderate tannins, decent depth and acidity. This also improved a point with air over 2 hours, maybe a 94 by the end.....while not a blockbuster it is a very, very nice wine especially so for the very challenged '17 vintage.
