Decanted for an hour and consumed over the following three hours. What I've come to expect in a quality Napa cab. Darker fruits, mocha, mushroom, cinnamon and cedar/oak. Medium-full mouthfeel, resolved, nicely balanced texture with a generous, lingering finish. Just now entering the prime drinking window with several years ahead.

PNP. Deep purple. Expressive nose of plum and blackberry. Same on the palate, lush purple fruit along with some chocolate. Full bodied and round. Slight grainy tannins and a long, sweet finish. Modern style.

Like the last bottle in 10/19, this is another solid 91 Pointer. Actually very similar to the last bottle with nice medium aroma and a taste of black fruit and plum. Balanced with med-acidity. The tannins are still there and a bit grainy. Still a Very Nice QPR for the price I paid of about $35. Not sure if I had a coupon or what, but TW is showing it at $50 (single bottle) now, so at that price, I'd lower it to a Fair QPR.

Another solid 91 Pointer. Very similar to the last bottle. Nice aroma with a taste of black fruit cherry and plum. Very balanced with medium acidity and grippy tannins.
Funny, I had this bottle with a big meaty pizza too (Giovanni’s in Mammoth). Great Together!

Deep garnet color with a bouquet and flavor of plums, muted cherries. cola, and some toasty notes from the oak. Balance somewhat affected by wine's relative youth with considerable tannins, but with nice nuance. Should improve with age.
