Blue fruits on the nose. Cherry Jolly Rancher. Off the bat. Smooth. Very low tannins. 2 hours later. Tannins appear. Classic mature cab. Very fun wine given the experiences.
Cheers.

Blind as always - this was an extremely quaffable wine with a good medium + body and well blended. I don't know the history but it seems to be a crowd pleaser type Napa cab with lots of complexity introduced with the cab franc, merlot, malbec and PV WITHOUT an associated acidic mid palate (with heat) and finish. The nose was a little lacking.
This was a PnP. It will be interesting to see if how the fruit balances with a 2 or 3 hour decant. It could improve a point or two.

Really nice cedar spice finish, very present french oak on finish, and a persistent finish at that. Glossy and oily in the glass, not a huge nose, but very pleasent. Really decadent and balanced wine , wanting more! 94+

40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Cabernet Franc, 14% Malbec, 14% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot; 100% new French oak, very well made, but just a bit expensive compared to peers
