True Napa Cab. Full body dark fruit with some terroir infused flavors, but nowhere near to call it fully in balance at this point. In order for this wine to get to the next level the fruit (sweetness) needs to be toned down so to allow a balance with the flavors that exist in the earth & air where these grapes grow.
Decanted 45-60min opened up just perfectly.

Drank this vintage too young a few years ago and was disappointed. Wow it has come into its own! Oak has settled into the background and deep, dark fruit flavors abound. Hints of tobacco and cinnamon as well. Super long finish. An exceptional Napa cab!

Excellent wine. Plenty of tannins, fruit, and acid left and will age longer. Wish I had more.

So so good. Dark black berries on the nose lead to a smooth delicious chocolate mocha.

Waited a little too long on this one, need to open and drink the 2007.
