  Still showing great life, though it is coming to the end of its window. Drink now confidently but probably don’t wait.

  Dark Purple color with an aroma of oak, cedar and black fruit. Dusty tannins on the finish (as previously mentioned) and a medium body and reasonable length (not too short and nothing too long to talk about). A bit heavy on oak but it is quiet well integrated. Good weekday table wine that has come around with age. Drink now. Excellent QPR.

  Nice floral and berry aromas. Cassis and some greenness as well as a touch of cedar. Good overall balance, smooth. Repeats with berries, cassis, herbal touch, dusty tannins on finish. I really enjoyed the wine. Delicious with nice complexity. Bit more fresh fruit and ripe tannins and berry depth then Bordeaux. But not as structured or earthy as Bordeaux.

  Starting to show a little bit of age and this offers some intriguing complexity. Otherwise medium bodied, nice acidity and detected by not over-powering oak. Getting close to 90 for me, but didn't fully come together, even while I enjoyed drinking and found some interesting complexity.

  Unmistakable Napa cab. Well made but not super complex. Good value at under $30.
