Still drinking well if you like the melancholy mouth feel of aged Cabernet. Big fruits, bold, thick in texture. Absolute Velvet !!! Aroma of black cherry on the nose.

Good solid Napa Cab with excellent QPR. Nicely evolved and starting to show a little bricking. Flavors were still highpitched (blackberry, leather, tar like)with underlying barrel (oak & spice)flavors along with a nice integrated line of tannin. I agree that it may be time to drink this one over the next couple yrs. Higher score for QPR. Wish other Napa Producers would take note.

Not flawed or defective, just past it’s time. The one that got away. Perfect cork, moderate sediment, great color, just past prime.... that is all.
If you have a large format bottle you’ve probably got a great chance still.

I enjoyed this quite a bit. Dark red fruit aroma. Balanced cabernet. Surprisingly excellent.
4 on the AF scale.

RP has the description nailed, but I think it deserves a couple more points. Thoroughly enjoyable.
