The balance of this wine is stellar. I would describe the flavors as others like WGMcCallum have done that already with accuracy. This wine is elegant, light on its feet, and so refreshing. This is exactly the kind of wine I want to drink from CA cab producers. Some chewy tannins are still present, so this is a lot of development to go, but already drinking really well.

Blackberries, red cherries,, flowers, pine bark on the nose. Bright acidic fruit on the palate with great freshness, salty tannins and floral aromas at the back. Lovely with Kobe beef hamburgers with avocado, beets, and roasted Poblano peppers.

Purple ruby. Sharp nose of spice box, perfumed flowers, tobacco, chocolate, some green notes. Strong gritty tannins on the palate, with dry precise fruit emerging at the back into a very long echoing finish. Exquisitely balanced, bright and deep at the same time. Looking forward to a comparison between now and 10 years from now. 50 + 18 + 17 + 8 = 93.

Beautiful nose. Slightly more reserved on the palate than the nose would lead you to believe.

Just OK. Nothing distinctive. Was hoping for something more. A light wine compared to many Napa 2012s I have had.
