This was once a solid Napa Cab but now it's hanging on by a thread. Blackberries and plums with a nice earthy component to match the dark fruit. But it's fading away. This wine has very little life left in it.

Hedonistic nose of dried dark fruits, raisins, and figs suggesting a massive bomb...but the palate holds back and delivers a refined, playful juicy delight. From our tasting this wine has plenty of life. Enjoy this beauty now or even wait a bit longer. It will be there waiting for you. Enjoy!

It’s Halloween, so there’s not a better day during the year to open this. Love the unique labels to them. Different each year.
In my opinion, the bottle outshines the wine. The wine itself is very basic, especially in comparison to their Trilogy offering that I buy often. Plum, black cherry, dark cocoa on the nose. On the palate, it’s very simplistic. Finish is a balance of blackberries, black cherry, and red licorice with cedar. Dry and fairly tannic without being overbearing. You buy these for the bottle decorations more than what’s inside!

No expectations. Let it breathe for about two hours. Dense ruby hues. Medium to full bodied. Smooth restrained dark red and blue fruit. Decent finish. Not outstanding but not a disappointment either.
