Pretty straightforward but a nice entry level wine. Mid-palate finish. Not sure it will improve much from here but no rush to drink it. Would drink over the next few years.

Tasted blind. Guessed 2008 Andrew Will Cellars Champoux Vineyard Blackcurrant, blackberry, toast on the nose. Nice red. Fruit forward but shows some restrain. On the palate, it is full bodied, supple, toothsome. Finish could be longer but it is enjoyable, nonetheless. Still room for development IMHO. Drink within 8 years.

Ripe cassis and on the simple side, but not excessively marked by oak. It is lacking tannin and acidity which makes it seem a little dilute despite the richness of the fruit, but it improved markedly when paired with a Flannery porterhouse.

Good napa cab. Not a lot of complexity, but smooth tanins and ripe sweet fruit.
