Another great bottle very similar to my last bottle. Excellent QPR and I hope to have another sometime in the next few months. It was a wonderful expression of Napa Valley blends. Super smooth….my lone criticism might be its lack of complexity but everything else on this bottle was marvelous.

good dark berry followed by plenty of slightly rustic earth; a bit of black tea day two has silkier plum and dark red berry to start, then finishes with cedar and tea--still savory

Really great bottle and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Recent Napa 2011’s have all been magnificent. Beautiful dark red/purple color and great nose. Notes of cherry, dark mocha chocolate, and a hint of plum notes on the finish. Great bottle and glad I had the opportunity to taste one of the original half case I purchased. A few years ago this wasn’t ready. It is certainly in the drinking window.

Right down the middle, with dark chocolate and tangy cherries, and impressive balance for a wine carrying 14.2% abv. This was a gift but I may be a buyer. Pretty pleased and maybe a little surprised by how much I like this.

Maybe too old. Some fruit. No undertones really. Lighter in weight. Got lost in food but still good to sip.
