  Chilled and decanted for 1 hour. Dark red color with purple hue. Dark fruit on the nose. Bold and dry with hints of leather, oak, and tobacco. Smooth finish. (4-12-17-8)

  Very fine, and I think a great expression of this Napa vintage. I know this is not their top-level wine, but it's a pleasing and expressive blend, not fruit-bomb plonk. However, I agree with others that it does not have the structure of a top-level Napa Cabernet. And I paid too much for it; not sure I'd buy it again for that reason.
  
  It went well with grilled steaks and watching a ballgame. Quite drinkable; it was hard to stop drinking it.

  Vinturied into decant,
  While I can see why it’s a crowd pleaser, it’s just over the top in my opinion as far as style.
  Not much here for structural balancing. Fruit seems out of sorts with what little oak is present.
  Drink now.

  This is really drinking well. Fruits are dominant. Nice tannins on the finish to give it complexity. No problems drinking now. Very enjoyable.

  Excellent & well made wine from this iconic Napa producer. This wine says Napa very loudly in a very good way. Still likely has at least 5 years left in it.
