  This is a very dark and inky wine for one that I believe has Merlot as the highest percentage. The Petit Sirah adds a very unique dimension to this wine. A full-bodied structure and slow legs back up the depth of the color. Cherry, tea and a hint of butterscotch on the nose. Soft tannins but still a nice dark fruit, cola, leather and some forest floor on the finish. This is a great vintage and a good value if you are willing to go outside the Bordeaux blend box. This will be excellent with our dry aged steaks with morel mushrooms. Beef stew, beef burgundy, or a pasta with bolognese sauce. This can lay down another 10 years I am pretty sure. Salute!

  Expecting disappointment, expectations exceeded. This had some lovely dark fruit and lively acidity to keep our attention. Wouldn’t mistake its provenance but this is decent stuff, good depth and backbone. Finish a bit short, but forgiven. Crushable distinctive Napa cab wearing its slight age well.
