  This wine is in very good shape. Tart red fruits dominate. Light & easy to enjoy.

  Surprising given the low scores here. This was an impeccably stored bottle. At PnP it was tannic and not that enjoyanle but after 30-45 min of some air it really opened up and impressed the table. Plenty of fruit, seems to have had minimal amount of new oak. The lower abv was appreciated. Really like the style of the older mayacamas

  Enjoyed this cab with a porterhouse at Ruth's Chris. If I had blind tasted it I would have said old world wine. It reminded me of an older bordeaux. Not first growth (or even second) but rather enjoyable and seamless on the palate. It lacks the long finish many of the current crop of big name Napa cabs exhibit but it still gave me joy.

  Color: Red/black; Nose: Beautiful, black currant w/some oak, earth & smoke; Taste: black fruit, slightly high acidity, austere, thin, disappointing; Finish: Medium-long, light tannin, acidic. Try this with fatty meat- it may enrich the mouth-feel.

  Others have noted that their bottles were opening up. After a 1 hour decant, mine was still, as others have described it, green and reticent.
