strawberry and raspberry fruit on the nose. earth and smoke in the mouth, with quite a bit of acid and mouth drying tannins. quite enjoyable, went fantastic with bbq ribs, but still quite tannic and a little sharp... i imagine this will settle down and smooth out with some more age. i'll wait another five to drink another.

Classicly styled Napa Cabernet, certainly not an ooze or oak monster. Reminds me of a Mayacamas with it's ample acidity and structured midpalate. Still needs a ton of time to open up. Sit on these for another 10 years and it should be rocking.

Dark ruby color. Appealing, but somewhat muted nose of black cherry, blackberry, green herbs and anise. Full bodied, but still tight palate of black fruits and a little spice. Good tannins and very good length. This wine is still a baby and needs more time in the cellar.
