Probably drank too soon. A little hot, particularly on back part of the palate; disjointed and lacking any real integration at this point. Paired well with Pizza. I would say hold for 1-2 years and try again

With a name (and reputation) like "Rapture" there is a lot to live up to. Once this delightful lip-smacker from Lodi had a little time to breathe, it did not disappoint. While the food pairing wasn't planned (a guest brought it for the meal) we served it with Cajun fare to enjoy the Mardis Gras a day early. It would definitely compliment a steak more suitably like all good Cabs, but ... as the varietal took it's long deep breaths in a deep decanter, by the end of the evening we were all about "Laissez les bons temps rouler."

Developed nicely. Glad I waited. Simple swirl in the glass releases all the goodness. In this case no need to decant today.
