This was a legit wine. Still holding strong with great fruit, depth, and finish.
Tasted on the hour for 4 hours and it was fantastic. What a steal for $35. If I find more of the 2010 I'd buy it: the wine will hold up well for at least 5 more years if stored well.

Opened at a campfire with some social distanced friends. This wine was singing and I was asked by everyone where to get more. Sadly I had to tell them that it is no more. Nice job to Steve and team. Great juice.

What an amazing expression of pure Napa Cabernet this is. Steve must be quite proud. Dark and ominous without much brown edges, this has a nose of pure black cassis and cardamom with just a bit of pencil shavings. Deep and precise, the pakate shows amazing balance that just sort of glides across your tongue with ease and finesse; no awkward edge and nothing to stub your toes on, this is just a delight. Love the black currant and black raspberries in a pillowy manger of loveliness. lol Finish is long and focused and just amazing. Real deal this be. Glad I have 4 more.

Deep and dark ruby red. Complex and layered nose with a touch of underripeness with green bell peppers, dark, a touch dirty, savory, and black cherries. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. Layered palate with dark cocoa, gamey notes, blackfruits and some red berries. Additional notes of broken twigs and a little damp earthiness. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2022.

This has hints of grandness but doesn't ultimately get there.
It climbs the mountain from the start with power and strength but then plateaus just before it gets to the top.
Rich and dark red in color - earthy sandy body - full body - 8/10
Tannins 7.5/10 amd a medium long finish.
