From Magnum. A classic B&H fruit forward alcohol laden wine, that is also classically yummy. The 80% Cab Sauv comes through with loads of dense black fruits, but the Merlot and Syrah really add lovely layers of supplemental fruits. Very smooth 15+ second finish.

Drank over dinner with a grilled Rib Eye bone in steak and, corn and grilled veggies. Dark purple color. Kinda shy to the nose, however, opened up after an hour over dinner. Cedar/oak hints semi well integrated with the fruit (a little left). Ripe red berries, pencil shavings and vanilla secondary aromas. Not very silky tannins but rounded ones. Medium finish. Ready now or maybe one more year. Nice wine but not a wow Cab from Napa.

Deep purple color fading to garnet at the edges. Bouquet of blackberry cobbler and vanilla ice cream. Cassis, brambly black fruit with iron, cigar box, cardamom and fennel. A somewhat unique sweet spice flavor profile. Rich mouth feel. Full body. Medium acidity. Great structure, but has settled into balance with a very smooth and rounded medium finish. A nicely nuanced and powerful Napa cab. Last vintage of this offering. Definitely worth a try if you can find it.
