Very luxurious nose, red/black cherry and vanilla, very new world for sure. Flavors are similar with cassis and maybe a hint of chocolate with a buttery mouthfeel, mild but noticeable tannins, low acid, very long finish, this is a very nice big bold Napa cab.

When we first opened we didn’t think there was much bouquet but then about 10 in it really punched up. It was such a glorious full bodied Cabernet that paired perfectly with the streak and fries. I would highly recommend this.

Beautiful juice. So deep, pure fruit. So incredibly smooth. This is about the juice not oak manipulation and extravagant structure -- that said, it is not as complex or thought provoking as best in class cabs.

Amazing purity - needs time (this was the first of these we've opened). It's got some edges now which figures as it's 100% Cabernet but you can tell it will be fabulous in the future. Lots of cassis, oak and midnight black fruits.

Great Cab. Decanted for 2 hours-could have been longer. Great nose. Full mouth feel- fantastic long finish.
