  Medium ruby color. Moderately intense aromas of ripe fruit, oak, very Napa. Dry, with elevated acidity but surprisingly modest tannins. Raspberry fruit on the palate, and maybe a little heat, although only 14.1% abv.

  Decanted for about an hour. The wine initially came off as austere, maybe a bit hot, but with air and time became a hit. Paired with grilled ribeye, baked, potato, and salad. It initially had herbal notes on the nose, and there was a worry in the beginning that it may have lost some fruit. it initially finished a bit hot. All of that went away with time in the decanter, and it was a terrific pairing for this meal.

  Very dense dark fruited nose of blackberry and cassis with vanilla in the background. Similar flavors with some bitterness that went away after an hour (Popped and poured over 2 hours), lush buttery mouthfeel, surprisingly had some acidity, long finish, a very nice big bold Napa cab, wish it had more cab franc character (82% cab franc 15% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon). Definitely a crowd pleaser but not in a bad way.
