  Agree with Oldcabman's review. Supple, nice soft fruit, drinking beautifully!

  Lithe and supple - fruit, integrated tannins, wonderful balance. Drinking like a well made Napa Cab should drink.

  Just incredible. Has the best of both worlds - the ripe fruit of the New World and the complexity from the Old World. Very ripe, even sweet, red cassis and plum fruit. It is an elegant Cabernet. Well integrated, seamless and balanced. Dare I say, it has characteristics of a mature Haut Brion. This has got great fruit and classiness. Showing very well now.

  superb, what can I say, an elegant (but with some punchy red fruits) classic '90's CA cab, great fruit, some Xmas spice and very nice acidity for lift... could feel the age in the mouth... not on its last breathe but in the second half of prime time... lovely and good value (for $135)

  From a magnum. A really excellent wine just (barely) past it's peak. Really love a good/great Napa Cab from the 90s before they turned the knob to "11" on virtually everything.
