Lovely stuff! I'm getting plum and blackberry rather than black currants leading the dance, along with leather and cigarbox and some oak. Soft tannins. Long finish. This wine is in a good place right now, you could keep it a while but I don't think it will improve much. Auction price was $15 and a great value; wine-searcher sees it around that price at a New Jersey shop.

A nose of some dark fruits and spices, garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, plum, some licorice with spice on finish. www.winelx.com

Another great bottle and experience. Great as a PNP and went very well with grilled filet with blue cheese. Sweet fruit, chocolate and a touch of vanilla. Medium finish and a crowd pleaser for sure. Tough to beat for Napa Cab at this price point. Yum!

aromatic with black fruits, silky tannins and a full body with an excellent length. prototypical napa cab with chocolate, vanilla. shows its vintage and likely can be aged for another 5-10 years. Had it after some opus one overture and it held on its own. So yes fruit forward but not jammy. amazing QPR. A good party wine.
