  Pleasant Combination of Bluefruits, mint and light herbal tones on the nose. Lomg and fruit driven taste with very good balance and complexity. Long finish!
  
  A really good wine!

  Deep garnet color. Expressive aromatically, with red currant, worn cedar & graphite, with subtle clove, paprika, rosemary, anise and violet notes that carry through the palate. Generous fruit on the attack, settling nicely between intensity and concentration. Dense and firm secondary core, early integration stage. Medium to full-bodied, with nicely balancing acid and broad-grained tannins with rounded edges, finishing with full and rich depth. This could be held for much longer, but you won’t regret opening now.

  Deep garnet color. Savory Cab aromas of redcurrant, star anise, fresh cedar, pipe tobacco, rosemary, tea and smoked paprika. Expressive dark currant fruit on the palate along with secondary bitter cocoa, tobacco and hints of clove spices. Medium-bodied, with a firm dense core, round polished tannins and a warm breathy finish with dark fruits and sweet spices. Showing well.

  For some reason this wine was better than I expected it to be. Pleasant nose, and well integrated with decent complexity. A very nice effort, drank after an hour out of cellar and bottle open only to raise the temperature a bit and expose it to some oxygen. Very ready to drink, not sure I would hold this much past 2022.

  Delicious dark fruit, a little vanilla and cedar. A powerful cab but impeccably balanced so never over the top. What I want all Napa cabs to be...
