  Decanted for 60 minutes. Medium bodied with dark fruit. Not as big as some Napa Cabs. Long finish.

  For me, red wines from the 2011 vintage in Napa are hit or miss. This was a hit. Nicely in balance, even notes of black fruit and dark cherry, cedar and cocoa across the palate, smooth tannins add to a rich feel.

  Better this time around than I recall. Huge pencil shavings , graphite onthe nose, very earthy. Nice fruits and cassis on the palate and solid finish on the back end. Held its own between a 2014 malescot exup. And 2014 paradigm cab franc. Was somewhere between the 2 in style , all very good.

  Ok, pop n pour, day 1 its big no doubt but more old world , not a huge dense fruit. Drinking next to 2005 Andrew Geoffrey mountain cab, give me the mountain juice all day. Day 3 was arguably better , classic restrained cab scents and smooth with some caramel undertone. Solid, not my favorite, but definitely enjoyable.

  Very good, BIG wine and in need of decanting...which we did for about 45 minutes (but could have been longer).
  Enjoyed with my cousins at our late Hanukkah party. Dark berry color, very structured and tight but after opening the fruit came through - definitely a wine for true Cab lovers, this would not be enjoyed but those that like a light and easy wine.
