Not a high end bottle, but I've been saving this because of the vintage and we're not disappointed. It could go another 3-5 years properly stored. Decanted for an hour. The nose is bright and bursting out of the bottle. Black raspberry, plum and strawberry fruit, eucalyptus and white pepper. Palate is Blackberry, blueberry, plum fruit, tomatoe leaf bitters mid palate and baking spices, sweet cigar & walnut fill out the finish. Very well balanced. If I didn't know better, I'd think I paid a whole lot more for this bottle.

Really nice for the price point. Some strong tannins which mellowed out with a few hours of air. Great fruit and spice. Nice mid week drinker with steak and salad

Some firm tannins, otherwise a fairly standard nicely-priced Napa cab.

Above average cabernet experience - mature, still firm, medium-bodied, concentrated with a spicy finish.
