Spun and decanted for an hour. I was originally pretty disappointed in this wine years ago. Served with a grilled ribeye tonight. Actually quite enjoyable.

Decanted back into bottle 15 minutes before serving. In the glass, dark red/garnet almost opaque with no browning at rim. Aromas of dark plums and dark cherries follow through onto the taste. Very enjoyable Napa Cabernet at almost 10 years old. A real treat from first glass through last glass over a few hours- consistent. Should hold up longer, why wait? Drink this now as it's not likely to develop further (for my tastes).

I am not sure why there are so many low scores on this wine. I found it a delicious wine. Dark purple color, restrained nose, good fruit at front and mid palate and soft tannins in finish. I thought this was good enough to buy 6 of the 2019. At $33 for a Napa cab, this is a good value.

Not great. Tannic and lacks fruit. Reminded me of an old world BDX. Would be hesitant to rebuy.

strong cherry fruit, some licorice, earth and iron. Well balanced.
