(with J M and B) Thick, tannic, and slightly hot, but also very expressive of Napa fruit. This wine is ageing very well (last bottle), with masses of sediment already caking the sides of the bottle. For the price, this is excellent winemaking, and gives more than a hint of the heights Napa can achieve. Great value in agreeable Napa Cabernet, if a little less than elegant.

Big, thick, and slightly hot, but also expressive of Napa, in terms of varietal expression.Furry tannins add structure to the large-scale wine. A touch of fennel, a touch of capsicum, but mainly currant, and damson plums (especially skin flavour). This is excellent value for money. Huge sediment caking the bottle, even at the age of 7. Very good.

Intense, well done and precise exuding plum, dark fruit, spice and tobacco. Structured with fresh acidity and grainy tannins in a medium body frame. NI:3,FI:22, FC:8, B:4, L:4
