Dense and foggy with deep garnet colour/half brandy tearing. Concentrated smell of forest berries, leather and hint of natural rubber Wellington Boots.The taste is deep of jammy blueberry pie, chocolate with plums and figs with a melange of viscous delight, peppered with a hint of nutmeg and vanilla. This is a quintessential Napa Red with all the density grade you could expect - including evolved light-feather tannins thanks to keen cellaring. Keep drinking until 2018 for optimal enjoyment.

Still kicking and alive this wine is a good example of aged Cabernet. Plum notes with cranberry and some cherry kirsch.

quite an enjoyable California blend. Needs a little time in the decanter to develop. A bit soft so more a stand alone than a good food companion.

Bit jammy and fruity in the beginning but balanced out about 45 minutes after decanting with a drier finish but holding on to good tanins.
