Tannins way out there. Double decanted per advice from a winemaker friend and tannins hung in there to the finish. Some nice fruit but I had a hard time getting past the tannins.

Popped and poured at restaurant. Initially a bit tight and tannic. Opened up fairly quick to reveal a classic Napa Cab. Creamy berry fruit, spice, and oak wrapped in a well-defined structure. Medium to firm tannins remained through the long finish. Wish I had more of this wine.

Nice fruit. Tannins have really mellowed in the last year. Very drinkable.
