Baking spice, black and blue fruits, some graphite on the nose. Feels inordinately thin on the palate, like it carries no density or intensity. It’s just missing that oomph when it comes to flavor intensity and structure. It’s not bad per se but doesn’t quite deliver.

I'm a little disappointed with this wine. 2012 was an outstanding year for Napa Cabs. This wine just doesn't measure it. Thin, muted fruit with a short finish and the flavor is disjointed. Don't buy this wine.

Juicy and chocolaty - not over the top, but really well built. The tannins are still pretty firm. So probably another 5 years of good drinking.
