A few notes on the nose that suggest Napa but not at all what I think of as a modern Napa Cab. Medium body. Barrel char on the nose and little else. Subdued and even a little hollow but an OK daily drinker for the price. Just nothing to excited about.

Poured a small glass yesterday, gassed and put in the refrigerator overnight. On day 1, it was closed and in an old world style for a Napa Cab. No formal notes on either day, but it's a bit better on day 2 with more fruits coming out in the nose and finish, the mid-palate is pretty hollow. I think it's worth it's price, but I've had better in the price range and appellation, for example--2014 Mount Veeder Cabernet, 2014 Waterstone, 2014 Louis Martini Alexander Valley. I bought two bottles so we shall see if it will come into its own in the next 6 months.
