  Dark ruby in the glass. Nose is not terribly expressive, giving out some cherries and oak. Medium+ acidity, fruit-forward but balanced with bright cherries and black currants, with notes of coffee, plush and unobtrusive tannins, and a long ending with warm spice and oak.
  Very approachable already, this is a well-made wine and classic Napa in style.

  A great value pick. The fragrant nose features fruity-floral elements. The palate is bold with blue and black fruit. Cherry, strawberry, and chocolate notes add some complexity. Good freshness, unobtrusive tannins. Drink now.

  PnP, and singing right out of the gate. Notes of ripe black plum, black currant, and dark chocolate coalesce throughout, with hints of tannin emerging late and lingering on the medium-long finish. One of the best vintages of this blend I can recall.

  So solid. Hits on every level. Well-rounded. Tannins slightly dominate on the finish. Been eyeing this for a while, was worth the buy.

  So Smooth. Fruity. Low tannin's and low acidity. Brought the bottle out to dinner with friends and everyone loved it. Would buy again.
