  Deep purple in color with a short purplish rim.
  
  Fruity nose of blackberries, blueberries, cooked strawberries, figs, vanilla, cedar, light earth, spices, chocolates, mocha, caramel, light alcohol and peppercorn.
  
  Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
  
  Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black cherries, sweet spices, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, mocha, cloves, herbs, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth, leather, tobacco and peppercorn.
  
  Medium plus on the finish with soft, round tannins and tangy cherries.
  
  This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel.
  
  Still young and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature and bring out more complexity. Would be nice to fast forward to 2025 and see what this looks like. However, it is drinking very nicely now, tasty and delicious.
  
  Good by itself or with food and a good quality wine. Good right out of the bottle and better after 3 hours of airtime, when the tannins show up.
  
  14.7% alcohol by volume.
  
  92 points.
  
  $125.
