Deep ruby and purple, with no visible signs of its 17 years. Medium plus aromas of ripe black and blue fruit. Dark chocolate covered cherries. Menthol. Super fine, well integrated tannins balanced by ample acidity. Flavors are a bit more stewed, but still present and delicious. Medium long finish. Really drinking great right now!

P/from Magnum. Clear, very minor fine sediment. Deep purple/ruby red color. Wow this was really good. Med body, ideal drinking window, resolved tannins, good red/black fruit. Drank at ideal time. A real treat.

For the money, I was expecting more. Just average Napa Cab. Have the Reserve from the same year so hoping that one shines.

Dark purple, almost black. Dark fruits, well-balanced, medium finish. A really nice Jarvis cab.
