1 hour slo-ox, nose of dark chocolate, black cherry, black currants, smooth tannins; most enjoyable, but felt it was better a few years ago. Didn't get secondary flavors on this bottle. One bottle remaining.

15 minute aerating decant at restaurant. Very nice, though somewhat restrained nose. On the palate, beautifully linear and well-integrated, rich flavors and texture, tannins present but not overbearing. A very nice example of Napa mountain cab.

Has calmed down a bunch since our 2017 bottle. Still a big mountain fruit wine, but no major tannins to work through now. Probably about five years from hitting its peak, but you’ll be happy with it now. Suggest an hour decant.

Classic Napa Cabernet with finely integrated tannins, hints of chocolate dust and a lingering finish.
