Deep concentrated nose of big lush dark fruits. Overtly Napa. On the palate, dense and mouthcoating with fine tannins. Big, round and juicy, medium to long finish. Fairly simple, but really delicious. Some secondary notes of spice and herbs, but take a back seat to the fruit. No change on day two. Very sturdy age-worthy Cabernet.

Tied for favorite of the night (with Caymus). Some spice on the nose, rich fruit, good mouthfeel

Eucalyptus, green veggies and some dark fruits, but overall the wine is nothing special although well made.
