A delicious Napa Cab. Lots of dark fruit on the noise, mouth filling big taste on the palette. A good amount of oak is present. Rich and delicious. That is why I bought half a case.

Wry youthful high alcohol content. Will let the remaining bottles age a bit or Declat for an hour improved with time but very tight. Strong tannins. We had the same night as a Heitz Cabernet which was more drinkable

Decanted prior to enjoying with a chargrilled ribeye, mushrooms, macaroni and cheese, and a fresh garden salad. Seems to be just entering its early drinking window. Displays a clear, deep ruby color, full bodied texture. A mix of youthful and developing characteristics: perfumed red flowers; lots of mocha; red and black currant; blackberry, blueberry, plum, and cherry fruits; cedar, and black mulchy soil. Although mostly primary there are faint hints of tobacco, leather, coffee and other more advanced notes trying to emerge. Tannins, oak and acidity are very much in a state of flux and need more time to come together. These structural elements support a very long, satisfying finish. Excellent right now with decanting and hearty food, but this will only improve with additional cellaring. Drink or hold through 2034+.
