I so very much like Rameys chardonnays, and the crisp precision with which they make those seems present here. It’s just not what I’m after in a Napa Cab. The texture of this bottle seems a bit thin and I’m really struggling to pick up any classic Napa fruit. That’s not to say it tastes like a high acid wine either. It just kind of lacks vibrancy altogether. It’s well made, and some may very much enjoy this melded style, so it’s not receiving a poor rating.

Needs air for a couple of hours to open up. By then it’s a pretty respectable mid-weight cab with mild tannins and pretty good length and complexity for the price.

Juicy cassis, tobacco, cocoa, tar; medium plus tannins; fruit from Oakville and St Helena; blend changes every year but about 80% cab sauv; 600 cases made; tasted at winery

Good, solid Cab. Opened and poured. Tannins integrated. Smooth, medium finish. Can drink without food.
