  Love the balance on this wine. Great vintage to enjoy for quite some time still.

  Dense, dark black fruits, creamy and plush. Low acidity and moderate tannins.

  This is a dry red wine. The nose is medium intensity featuring ripe dark black berries and cherries. Ample baking spice and light sweet vanilla. The body is full and the palate echos the nose plus a touch of Rutherford dust. The acidity is medium and the finish is medium plus. This is an outstanding wine.

  Pnp on xmas eve. Drank on it's own before dinner. Really nice wine, blackberry and black cherry on the nose and palate, and a slight trace of vanilla. Very silky and round mouthfeel. It had a nice fruit filled finish, with very muted tannin. I agree with Col. Jessup, it could be a little over priced, but what Napa cab isn't? This one was gifted to me, so I got to skirt that issue. :)
  
  2016 is a banner vintage for Napa cabs, and this one is no exception.

  Still a bit tight on opening, but didn't open up more over time. Nicely fragrant nose of red fruit, graphite and some dustiness (was hoping for that with Rutherford). Red fruit on the palate, slight pyrazine/vegetal notes. Fairly integrated tannins.
  
  Agree with NRJESSUP, for $70 I don't think the QPR is here.
