Big, powerful and still very tannic. But, it was not unbalanced and everything seems to be in place. Next time I will decant; I suspect it will be much better.

Always a favorite since we visited John and Sandy at the winery a few years ago. Light, bright and delicious. Medium ruby color. Strawberry, cherry and a hint of cola on the finish. A great cheese and crackers wine.

Decanted 1hr, I purchased this bottle (my only) in 2013, cherry, plums, cola, a little pepper, pleasant and soft like the iron fist in a velvet glove, drinking impeccably now and should hold for several years.nwhat a treat to drink, Napa cab at it's best.

The texture of this wine is amazing, lush and velvety, absolutely it's best characteristic as it's hard to find in wines less then 100. Cherry cola, chocolate, vanilla, sweet cooking spices, really nice balance and mouthfeel. Very good overall, I wish I had more of it and it was cheaper. Gift from father in law, nice choice :)

Still very young. After two hours of decanting, ample tannins and a bit hot. Plenty of fruit, cherry. Recommend cellaring for several years.
