  Deep to opaque ruby color. Layered nose still has some intensity of youth with tobacco, blackcurrant, cooked purple/black fruit. Nothing too old about the color or nose, nothing too young: age appropriate.
  
  Left bank Bordeaux meets earlier-generation Napa Pahlmeyer? Pierre, the winemaker for this and many other Signorello vintages is French. He retired last year, perhaps to give the next winemaker freedom as Signorello rebuilds the winery after 2017 Napa fires destroyed it.
  
  Primary and secondary flavors are true to the nose, plus hints of espresso, baking spices and muted berries. I’d believe anywhere from 80% to 100% Cabernet. Actual is 93% Cab, 7% Cab Franc. Unobtrusive tannin, unobtrusive acidity, but not dull. Full-bodied, but not overly by contemporary standards (14.4% abv).
  
  I’ve seen bottle variation in these, all stored identically, so be warned. That may account for some rating variations. This one is borderline excellent and probably has another 2-3 prime years.

  Pleasant matured Cabernet. Aromas are a mix of cranberry and some illusive dusty/spicy notes. The palate has lots of dry cranberry with a bit of tart blackberry. I think it’s better than the average score suggests.

  90+ Had this with Davis with steaks. Slightly dusty. Muted fruits. Tasted much older than a 2010. The 2001 Cavolotto Barolo we had with it side by side tasted much younger.
  
  Drink remaining bottle soon.

  Good but kind of missing something. Either past peak or in a funk.
