  Wow. Perfect drinking. Not Napa valley floor. Has mountain complexity. This was very inspiring

  Fantastic. Drink or hold, this has plenty of horsepower left.

  Dense, dark, and mouth-coating. Loads of round, ripe black fruit balanced perfectly with vanilla, nutmeg, and other baking spices. Big and bold and what you come to expect from a "in your face" Napa Cab. The few extra years in the bottle has been kind to this one, softening the tannins nicely and creating a more enjoyable finish but with a still very-well-intact backbone. If you like big and bold, this one is ready or you can hold as it's got plenty of life left. You can drink this alone or pair it perfectly with a grilled ribeye like we did.
  
  C: Dense purple throughout
  
  N: Blackcurrant, blackberry jam, even some stewed plums come through for me on the fruit side. Secondary notes of baking spices and vanilla from the oak and even some faint FAINT tertiary notes of fresh leather.
  
  P: Mouth-coating ripe black fruit, perfectly balanced oak with vanilla leading the charge. Medium plus body, medium plus alcohol, medium to medium minus on the acidity (which would be my only red mark).
  
  F: Long finish of blackberry pie.
