Tannins are resolved, the wine is ready to drink. With the tannins reduced to gone, the fact that the wine is slightly sweet became more apparent. It is a matter of taste, this one is not my style.

Really needs more time to develop. While the wine clearly drank better after decanted, acidity was very dominating. Tasted decent while eating New York strip. I would wait till 2016 on this one

I purchased six bottles at the winery, drank one and did not published a note because I wanted to confirm the experience. Today I tasted a second bottle and the conclusion is the same. The wine lacks balance and is pretty big on acidity to the point that it isn't pleasant to drink at this point. I will try few more years of cellar time, but this wine isn't a good representation of a Napa cab.

Great perfume! Rich red currant nose, noble and elegant. On the palate it's rich and luscious, dominated by red berry fruit. Flavors of red and black wild berry and currant. Big acid and tannin, so needs time as this even came from a decanter. Great structure to age nicely.

Way too hot and port like with some oxidation.
