  Agree with other CT reviewers' comments on high level of acidity; primary flavors to me were of dark fruits and cassis. Moderate finish.

  Significant acidity to this wine, which stands out relative to other Napa cab blends. Red and black fruit, cured meat, and a tangy streak on the finish make this a fairly distinctive wine.

  Somewhat classically styled for a TRB wine (although that's relative, obviously), as there is more acidity present to balance the fruit than in many of his projects. Nice wine at a nice price.

  Blackberry, blueberry, Casio on the nose, perhaps a slight cigar box or cedar. mild tannin, quite acidic, long finish, the dark stewed fruits dominate the flavor.

  Wonderful nose of cocoa, damp forest, dusty soil, gravel and spicy jammy berries sprinkled with baking spices. On the palate comes rich coffee tones and whispered hints of eucalyptus. In the mouth tannin dances with tart fruit; very lively. A clean, bright finish, but not without a balanced blanket of rich herbal echoes. PJG: 90/91
